Sheltered at last from the storm that raged outside, he could make out a group of men and women at the far end of the large, dimly lighted room. "Sorry to interrupt," he said, "but this girl here is Hurt bad period do you think you could get her to a hospital?" the group stood transfixed- no one moved, no one spoke- and as his eyes became accustomed to the murky light and he was able to see who and what they were, Henry Bauer knew he had made a mistake that could easily cost him his life. Bauer's Mistake, learned moments too late, plunges him into the center of a desperate and deadly conspiracy, a frame up from which, as an American citizen in a foreign country, he seems to have little chance of escape.
