A classic noir thriller about love and deception from the
bestselling author of "The Reader."
Georg Polger ekes out a lonely living as a freelance translator in
the south of France, until he is approached by a certain Mr.
Bulnakov, who has a intriguing proposition: Georg is to take over a
local translation agency and finish a project left by the previous
owner, who died in a mysterious accident. The money is right and
then there is the matter of Bulnakov's secretary, Francoise, with
whom Georg has fallen hopelessly in love. Late one night, however,
Georg discovers Francoise secretly photographing a sensitive
military project. He is shocked and heartbroken. Then, her eventual
disappearance leaves him not only bereft, but suspicious of the
motivations behind Mr. Bulnakov's offer. To make matters worse,
Georg's every move is being watched. Determined to find out who
Francoise really is, and to foil who ever is tracking him, Georg
sets out on an mission that will take him to New York City, where
with each step he is dragged deeper and deeper into a deadly
whirlpool in which friend and foe are indistinguishable.
