Bend all your powers to remember them.''What begins as a welcome, if slightly dull, weekend at his friend Lady Flambard''s house in the Costwolds becomes for Sir Edward Leithen something altogether more intriguing. A fellow guest – the brilliant Professor Moe – enlists the help of Leithen and his companions in an experiment.
