Victor Baxter was only twelve years old when the Captain took him away from school to live with Liza, his girlfriend. He claimed that Victor, now reborn as Jim Smith, had been won from his father at a game of backgammon or was it chess? Having reached his twenties, Jim, a hack journalist and unwitting Judas, attempts to piece together the Captain's story. 'There is no shortage of novels whose theme is the destructiveness of an inability to love, but few have laid it bare so openly as this one, few signposted the loveless road with such devastating plainness.'
