Inhaltsangabe

Some time in the 1970s: a Calcutta teacher and radical, Subhash Ganguli, on the run from Indian authorities, disappears in London. The body of a left-wing Latin American intellectual, Guillerimo Sanchez, is pulled out from the Seine.
Years later, post 9/11: Claude Chiragi, McGill scholar, and son of a Pakistani free-spirit and a Quebecoise, receives as present a painting signed "G. Sanchez." It is evident that the painting is one of a series and contains a subversive message about the rise and fall of empires: Two periods of rise, followed by two periods of decline. And it seems that some of the figures in the painting move - or is he imagining? Claude and his girlfriend Clara embark on an adventure across three continents, involving murder, kidnapping, a trek into ancestral roots, and a school for subversives in the jungle, and discover a world of political and intellectual conspiracies, all out to obscure the message of the paintings. But who was Guillermo Sanchez, and is he really dead?
