English crime novelist Charles Latimer is travelling in Istanbul
when he makes the acquaintance of Turkish police inspector Colonel
Haki. It is from him that he first hears of the mysterious
Dimitrios - an infamous master criminal, long wanted by the law,
whose body has just been fished out of the Bosphorus. Fascinated by
the story, Latimer decides to retrace Dimitrios' steps across
Europe to gather material for a new book. But, as he gradually
discovers more about his subject's shadowy history, fascination
tips over into obsession. And, in entering Dimitrios' criminal
underworld, Latimer realizes that his own life may be on the line.
