A bomb detonates, leaving the fate of passengers on the MV Buckingham uncertain. Upon arriving in New York, Harry learns from his publisher, Harold Guinzberg, that he has been elected president of English PEN, allowing him to advocate for the release of fellow author Anatoly Babakov, imprisoned in a Russian Gulag for his revealing book about working for Josef Stalin. Harry's commitment to Babakov's cause puts his own life at risk. Meanwhile, Emma Clifton, now Chairman of Barrington Shipping, faces backlash from the IRA bombing of her ship, with some board members urging her resignation while others, including newly elected Sebastian Clifton, support her leadership. Giles Barrington, now a Minister of the Crown, encounters political turmoil following an unsuccessful diplomatic trip to East Germany, exacerbated by Major Alex Fisher's decision to challenge him in the upcoming general election. Sebastian proposes to his girlfriend Samantha, who initially accepts but later withdraws her commitment upon discovering his secretive actions. The narrative culminates in two court trials: a high-profile libel case in London involving Emma and Lady Virginia Fenwick, and a show trial in Russia where Harry is arrested as a spy. Thus unfolds the fifth installment of the Clifton Chronicles.
