Across two continents, three strangers get a glimpse of the best kept secret of our times. On a rainy day in late June 1991, Dr Wallenberg, a wealthy Swedish neurologist passes through customs at Kennedy Airport. He has come to take over the reins at Asgard Park, an old mental Institution in upstate New York. Here he discovers an irrational conspiracy run by his predecessor who is now a patient, obsessed with Intelligent Design. We meet a beautiful young widow in Albania, eking out a hardscrabble existence. Her life spirals out of control when grim and mysterious things start to happen. For a roving troubleshooter of the NSA, the threads of intimate collaboration by worldwide secret services bring him into conflict with a powerful baron of German industry. The paths of these three strangers meet in Albania when they uncover the oldest story on Earth: the truth about Heimdal: The watchman who settles social order among humans for the gods of Asgard.
