She is riding a tram on her way to answer a summons from the secret police. She has been questioned before; this time, she believes, will be worse. She has brought along a towel and her toothbrush in case she's not allowed to return home. Her crime?

520 8 $a"As each tram stop brings the young woman closer to the appointment, her thoughts stray to her bus-driver father and his infidelities; to her friend Lilli, shot trying to flee to Hungary; to her grandparents, deported after her first husband informed on them; to Major Albu, her interrogator, who begins each session with a wet kiss on her fingers; and to Paul, her lover, her one source of trust, despite his constant drunkenness.
520 8 $aIn her distraction, she misses her stop, finding herself on an unfamiliar street. And what she discovers there makes her fear of the interrogation pale by comparison."--BOOK JACKET.
