The chapters are arranged in four parts. Part 1 is concerned with the manifestations of transparency and obfuscation in domestic democratic settings whilst Part 2 deals with the same realities but in an international context. Part 3 looks at corruption and Part 4 considers some of the implications of transparency and obfuscation for the working of governments and the formulation of public policies.

She collected the small hand broom and opened the door, ready to hurl the bristly piece of plastic. Instead of the expected dog, she was confronted by a big, tired, tousled-looking man sitting on the porch decking. Dark hair, dark eyes, and a dark shadow of unshaved whiskers across his chin. Shock nailed Beatrix's feet to the floor. Tripped her heart so it flapped like a trapped bird. Drained the blood from her head, making her dizzy. She clutched the doorframe and stared at the man before her. Nelson Joseph Burfield-Mills. Sonny to his friends. Erstwhile husband to Beatrix. As birthday presents went, nothing could have surprised her more. She watched him heave himself to his feet. Conscious of his eyes on her face, and her own trembling limbs, as he settled himself into some sort of order. Dressed in gray cotton pants, a tee shirt and a thigh-length cotton jacket too thin for the New Zealand winter, he shivered as he watched her watching him. "Well?" he asked. The information given to him in Tunis said his wife Beatrix Jacqueline lived here. Was this magnificent, golden haired creature that woman? She certainly fit the description, but how could he be sure? And how did a man address a woman he was married to, but had no memory of? Nerves made him gruff.
