This was a strange story from the very beginning to the end. The trip was being paid for by a short trip to the British Embassy and delivering a pet tortoise. The premise of the story is following up on an anonymous note sent to Henry eluding that Henry's father was still alive and in Romania. The father being alive was quickly disabused by the British Embassy in Paris and that would be the end of the story except for two first class tickets were provided to the main character pair supposedly by Georgiana's aunt to Bucharest. From that point on the adventure became decidedly much more dangerous from an assassination attempt to people tossing their compartments. I definitely recommend this book.
