Parker works as an amanuensis to a man of dubious character called Robinson. Robinson lives in a big house in Kilburn where he earns a living as a collector of historical objects. He specialises in Russian icons, old newspapers and other items of more dubious provenance. One of Parker's duties involves meeting up with people who have an interest in purchasing artefacts in which Robinson specializes. While carrying out his assignments, he comes to realise that his grandfather and Robinson's father both have controversial war records. In fact, the more immersed he becomes in Robinson's world, the more he comes to realise that he is the inheritor of a personal history that leads into the darkest corners of 20th century history.
