When Edward Leithen first meets Vernon Milburne he is unsure what to make of him—while interesting, Milburne is also detached and rigidly self-disciplined. Nevertheless, Milburne and Leithen become close friends, and Milburne eventually tells Leithen about a disturbing and prophetic recurring dream he has had since childhood. But how is that dream linked to the mysterious and reckless Kore Arabin, a woman who needs help to return to the small Greek Island where her family had ruled for many years?
Sir Edward Leithen is a character that features prominently in several other John Buchan novels, including The Power-House, The Gap in the Curtain, John Macnab, and Sick Heart River.
