'Dr Paul Langley, age 39, is slightly mad...And it's not that he doesn't have a good brain - like most academics he has a very good brain - it's just that he thinks he's a little out of wack...mainly because he keeps saying visions of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the dead man whose life and work he's been studying for years.
'Dietrich Bonhoeffer was repelled by the evils of fascism and fought against the Nazi regime. He was executed in 1945 when his involvement in the plot to assassinate Hitler was discovered. Langely is baffled how Bonhoeffer - a theologian like himself - lept from pacifism to tyrannicide in one fell swoop. Langley finds himself in trouble when he falls for one of his students Hannah Summers. Things become complicated when it is discovered Hannah has a secret which threatens to destroy them both.'
