In a fantastical Europe, where the concept of citizen has been replaced by that of a professional, two friends, an artist and an intellectual, undertake a peculiar mission: they are appointed as escorts to an innocent prisoner facing the death penalty.

His trial takes place publicly, while they travel to the place of execution, crossing the mountain ranges of Aimos, Karpathia, the Alps, and the Pyrenees. They are hosted by cities-castles, cities-theaters, cities-sanatoriums, cities-monasteries, cities-libraries, cities-brothels, which constitute the members of the court. All the inhabitants of Europe are the jurors, who must decide whether the defendant's innocence is nothing more than a twisted guilt, or whether the judges' honesty is nothing more than a sophisticated deception...

A book with elements of a road novel, a political thriller, and a gothic fairy tale. A journey to the edge of concepts with successive twists. An exciting travelogue that brings us face to face with two big questions: how dangerous can the certainties of "law-abiding" democracies become, and where is the essence of political innocence or guilt?
