London’s fog hides a shabby shop where a listless anarchist, his embittered wife, and her fragile brother orbit a plot demanded by a foreign embassy: a bomb at the Greenwich Observatory. Between police informers, zealots, and cynical diplomats, betrayal detonates at home, turning a petty scheme into tragedy and exposing the emptiness at the heart of fanaticism.
