In JUDGMENT ON DELTCHEV, a young British playwrite, Foster, is asked to cover the trial of Yordan Deltchev, seemingly a victim of a Soviet frameup.
"It soon becomes clear that things are infinitely more complicated than that. In the course of his investigations, Foster discovers a dead body in a tenement room, is attacked in a dark street by two hired thugs, gets mixed up with an assortment of people of sinister behavior and cryptic party affiliations, and in the end, witnesses a shocking assassination." (The New Yorker)
