Men Timothy Hole har ett problem. Någon vill att han ska dö. På väg till Ryssland mellanlandar Timothy i sina gamla brittiska hemtrakter, och hans resa blir alltmer också en resa ned i hans förträngda förflutna. De små morden, de små sveken som vi begår då och då i livet för att slippa undan svårigheter, försakelser eller ansvar – det är kring dem som Alan Moore väver denna täta psykologiska thriller, full av ironi och spänning. Alan Moore är en av de moderna seriernas största förgrundsfigurer, och kanske den författare som gjort mest för att reformera USA:s i början av 80-talet stillastående kommersiella serievärld. Detta var den första större serieromanen Moore skapade efter Watchmen, och den fick högt kritikerbetyg överallt.
