Alex is sent to Budapest to discover how power is distributed inside Hungary’s communist leadership. The city remains marked by wartime collaboration, siege and the rapid replacement of one authoritarian system by another, making every potential source vulnerable to both political and personal blackmail.

His contacts include a Catholic monsignor with a compromising secret and a woman whose wartime grievance has become a motive for revenge. As Alex attempts to provide the Gehlen Organization with reliable intelligence, the assignment exposes how churches, families and party officials adapt to a state built on surveillance.
