Christian Vellacott, a clever young journalist, gets wind of a political secret that powerful men in Paris and London are determined to keep. Hunted for what he knows, he is drawn into a contest of nerves with agents of the Society of Jesus. Its Jesuit plotters reflect the anti-Catholic suspicions of 1890s England.
