Double Tongue

Hungary. April 1999. NATO is bombing Kosovo and Serbia. Robert Lee, a young American researcher, is travelling through Eastern Europe

In Budapest he enrols in a language school and becomes obsessed with Anna, his language teacher

They embark on a passionate sexual relationship. When he goes to visit her home town of Szeged, close to the Serbian border, he is drawn into a dangerous and terrifying underworld in which he is forced to confront the other men in Anna's life: James, an English art dealer, and Milan, a Serb with scores to settle and deals to close

Sexual obsession, political intrigue and shifting identities lead to an eruption of brutal violence - which forces Robert to confront aspects of his own identity that he would rather ignore

The sound of NATO Chinooks echoes through the night. A black male prostitute and an icon of a Black Madonna go about their strange business. Who is watching ? Who is waiting ?
