Description
When a girl is found dead with a signed copy of Rudian Stefa's latest book in her possession, the author finds himself summoned for an interview by the Party Committee. Unable to guess what transgression he has committed, Rudian goes to meet his interrogators. He has never met the girl in question, but he remembers signing the book. As the influence of a paranoid regime steals upon him, Rudian finds himself swept along on a surreal quest to discover what really happened to the mysterious girl to whom he wrote the dedication, 'to Linda B'.
