About This Book

A lively student circle in Groningen receives two elegant visitors, and their acquaintance sparks storytelling, a provocative wager, and mounting intrigue. A recounted Scottish adventure sets events in motion that unfold amid lustrum celebrations, including a masked ball, a clandestine network trafficking women, and a dramatic abduction. Friends rally to investigate and rescue the victim, leading to public uproar at a concert hall and a final reckoning that settles the wager. The narrative mixes camaraderie, suspense, and social spectacle against the festive urban setting.
