About This Book
A young man becomes determined to protect a traveling woman after observing a flattering but questionable acquaintance shadow her departure. Pursuing her to the Engadine and St. Moritz, he is drawn into theatrical rivalries, secret compacts, and romantic tensions; episodes alternate between social maneuvering, alpine travel and peril on a glacier, intermittent confrontations, and private strategizing. The narrative follows the evolving relationships among several figures, the assembling of allies, and the negotiations that bring their personal disputes to a resolution.
