Peter has decided to kill someone, and the president seems the best choice. Told in three parts, the novel follows five people in turn: the would-be assassin Peter, the security agent Egon with his near-animal instinct, the reporter Ema, Filip, and his small son Aleš. Each has a past of his or her own, and their paths begin to cross as the story approaches its climax, the day of the assassination, when Peter sets off for the place where he means to strike. Will he really kill, will Egon pick him out in the crowd, and what will happen to the child left alone in a flat for hours? Beneath the suspense lies an old longing for happy pastures that people want but cannot reach.
