Melanie Ferguson, a hard-edged war correspondent, drags refugee and linguist Arthur Borovitz to Parkman because she knows the Tribunal is desperate for translators. When Dr. Hannelore Schneider tries to rob him one night, Arthur offers her a job helping him translate documents. Hannelore is a devout Nazi, but she is also an intellectual. Parkman, increasingly desperate to understand how such cultured people could commit such horrible acts, summons her for interrogation. The experience leaves him with a crushing responsibility, including a secret that propels him into a future that promises to be nearly unbearable.
