Four years of horrific fighting have finally ended on the battlefield, and in the spring of 1919, Paris is filled with delegates working towards the Treaty of Versailles. One such representative is British diplomat Sir Henry Maxted, in charge of convincing the Brazilians to hand over warships seized from the Germans. Before a deal is reached, Sir Henry turns up dead outside a Montparnasse apartment building. The French police conclude that Sir Henry tripped and fell from the roof, but when his son Max is sent to Paris to collect the body, it quickly becomes clear there is more to the story--starting with the beautiful woman whose apartment Sir Henry often visited.
