Max Grannit foils a terrorist attack and finds himself thrust into the spotlight as a reluctant hero. The media attention catches the eye of five wealthy conspirators who see him as a threat to their elaborate scheme. These millionaires possess wealth beyond measure and the influence of ancient Roman rulers, but their latest project demands something money alone cannot purchase. They believe Grannit might destroy their carefully laid plans. Meanwhile, the surviving terrorists mark him for death. Isolated and hunted from multiple directions, Grannit receives an unexpected invitation from three strangers who summon him to an elegant villa beside a lake. They claim they need his assistance, but they cannot explain why they require his help or what role he must play in their mysterious agenda. As enemies close in from all sides, Grannit must navigate this deadly puzzle across the landscapes of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
