Under a Sun of Lead is a literary homage to the string quartet that employs a tetralogical formula to tell the story of the narrator, two renowned Russian exiles, an American manuscript restorer, a beautiful young local, and a man who was to have become a priest; who after witnessing a harrowing accident, find they have drawn the attention of the authorities and the city around them.
