Alexander Jessiersky, Austrian aristocrat and shipping magnate,
finds the Nazis distasteful - but in war and in business, distaste
can lead to negligence. When Jessiersky's board of directors sends
his mysterious neighbour Count Luna to a concentration camp on
trumped-up charges in order to seize his land, Jessiersky can't
shake the feeling that Count Luna blames him - and, after the war
ends, that Count Luna will have his revenge. So begins a wild,
weird and witty cat-and-mouse chase through windswept moors,
shadow-filled houses and, eventually, the catacombs of Rome, as an
increasingly paranoid Jessiersky asks himself: who is Count Luna?
Where is he hiding? And will he stop at nothing - not even the
edges of the plausible and canny - to exact his bloody venegance?
