Leo Harting, a junior employee at the British embassy in Bonn, disappears with sensitive files. Security officer Alan Turner is sent from London to recover the documents before their contents damage the government and the embassy.
Turner's abrasive investigation exposes private compromises, former Nazi connections and political tensions in West Germany. The missing man becomes the centre of a struggle over how much of the recent past officials are willing to acknowledge while defending present alliances.
