Die Jacht eines deutschen Bankiers fliegt in die Luft. Robert Lucas, Angestellter der Gesellschaft, bei der die Jacht versichert war, wird losgeschickt, um Licht in das Dunkel dieser Katastrophe zu bringen. Damit bereits ist sein Schicksal ebenso vorgezeichnet wie das der jungen Malerin Angela Delpierre, der Lucas in Cannes begegnet. Rätselhaftes und Unheimliches, aber auch das Wunder der übermächtigen Liebe zweier Menschen geschieht in der paradiesisch schönen Landschaft der Côte d' zwei Liebende und ein halbes Dutzend der Mächtigsten dieser Erde sind verstrickt in ein Netzwerk von Leidenschaft und Verbrechen, aus dem es keinen Ausweg mehr zu geben scheint.

Johannes Mario Simmel was an Austrian writer. He was born in Vienna and grew up in Austria and England. He was trained as a chemical engineer and worked in research from 1943 to the end of World War II. After the end of the war, he worked as a translator for the American military government and published reviews and stories in the Vienna Welt am Abend. Starting in 1950, he worked as a reporter for the Munich illustrated Quick in Europe and America. He wrote a number of screenplays and novels, which have sold tens of millions of copies. Many of his novels were successfully filmed in the 1960s and 1970s. He won numerous prizes, including the Award of Excellence of the Society of Writers of the UN. Important issues in his novels are a fervent pacifism as well as the relativity of good and bad. Several novels are said to have a true background, possibly autobiographic. According to his Swiss lawyer, Simmel died on January 1, 2009 in Lucerne, at 84 years of age.
