About This Book
The narrative follows a small investigative firm approached by an elderly, wealthy client who commissions them to locate time travelers who might reveal remedies for eternal youth. Discussion of paradox and detection frames the case, and the client insists that massive public festivals provide ideal concealment, citing Munich's Oktoberfest as a prime hunting ground. The senior investigator registers skepticism but accepts the assignment as a pretext for travel; the account tracks preparations for the trip and the narrator's dawning unease upon learning the festival's staggering attendance, suggesting larger unknowns behind the commission.
