Klaus Marbach and his wife, the lawyer Manon de Montmollin, met while working on the Bergier report on Swiss neutrality during the Second World War. When they separate, he carries on his research alone in Nieburg in Baden, at the heart of the Bühler family's aluminium empire, looking into Swiss industry's cooperation with National Socialism: he wants to know where the evil came from and how one resists it. Imogen, last of the Bühler dynasty and sole heir, supports his inquiries and increasingly takes hold of his imagination. His growing passion for this older woman leads him, across many boundaries, to the sources of his own existence.
