Toronto's a big city, and corpses are always turning up, but rarely are they so very well-dressed. Who wants to murder a billionaire? That's what journalist Judith Hayes intends to find out in this 1987 sequel to Hidden Agenda, and with her cop-boyfriend she follows the trail from New York to Bermuda, Paris, and at last to Hungary, where the billionaire's wartime childhood proves to have been the breeding ground for secrets that have stretched terrible tendrils to the edge of the 21st century.
