Summary

Abused as a ten-year-old at a prestigious English boarding school nestled in the Swiss Alps, Allen Kurzweil, author of the acclaimed bestseller A Case of Curiosities, takes the reader around the world--from the Vienna Woods to the slums of Manila to the boardroom of the world's largest law firm high above New York City--to locate and confront his long-lost tormentor, a twelve-year-old named Cesar Augustus who tied him up and whipped him to the strains of Jesus Christ Superstar. What begins as an anxiety-fueled quest for revenge takes an elaborate detour when the author discovers that Cesar has recently been released from federal prison for his role in a byzantine scheme perpetrated by a felonious duke, a Congolese king, a fugitive prince who traces his roots back to Vlad the Impaler, and a spats-wearing baron born in Toledo, Ohio
