Daniel Pitt is thrilled that his sister Jemima and her family have returned to London from the States. However, their joy is soon overshadowed by a disturbing incident: Jemima's friend in Washington, D.C. has been assaulted, and her cherished necklace stolen. The suspect, Philip Sidney, a British diplomat, has fled to London, citing diplomatic immunity, but this does not shield him from other crimes. When Sidney faces court for embezzlement, it falls to Daniel to defend him. He intends to provide just enough of a defense to avoid a mistrial, allowing the prosecution to secure a conviction. However, when news breaks of an employee at the British embassy in Washington found dead, Daniel becomes suspicious of Sidney’s involvement and takes on the role of investigator. Partnering with the resourceful scientist Miriam fford Croft, who employs cutting-edge technology, they embark on a quest for evidence. Their journey leads them to the Channel Islands, revealing that the stolen necklace is linked to a much larger web of crime, including potential murder, complicating the case significantly. What began as a simple theft escalates into a complex international affair with dire implications.
