A nervous courier delivers the handwritten manuscript of a dissident Russian novelist to Paul Christopher early one morning in West Berlin. Minutes after the hand-off, the courier's spine is neatly snapped by an impact with a passing black sedan. Meanwhile, in Rome, Christopher's wife, Cathy, takes a famous film director as a lover to stir her husband out of the stoicism that defines his personality. These two seemingly discrete events set in motion a spiral of operational and personal intrigue that leads Christopher from the cafes of old Europe to the front lines of the Cold War in the Congo as he secretly arranges the publication of a novel that could bring the Soviet system to its knees, and races to identify the leak that compromised his messenger - and possibly the entire mission.
