A clipping from a Tunisian newspaper received through the post: a dead-man’s outline on a North African backstreet – an outline drawn in blue chalk. Matt Clough is missing, presumed dead. Presumed by everyone but his lover, Lucija, who recruits Oxford journalist Baz Potter to help her track him down.
