Daniel Pitt is delighted that his sister is visiting London with her American
husband Patrick, a policeman, and their young daughters. But Patrick's trip
has another purpose, for which he enlists Daniel's help.

Philip Sidney, a young British diplomat, is accused of robbery and assault in
Washington, but he has taken diplomatic immunity and fled to England. The
perfect opportunity to obtain justice presents itself when Sidney is accused
of a small embezzlement at the British Embassy in the USA, but as Daniel digs
deeper into the case it becomes clear that vengeance is involved.

When a witness is murdered in America suspicion of guilt falls on Sidney. But
is somebody trying to frame him? And, if so, who and why? Daniel follows a
trail that uncovers another murder, and leads from Washington to the idyllic
Channel Islands, then to a dramatic scene in court that almost defies
belief...
