As the Battle of Britain rages above, DCI Frank Merlin and his officers investigate the sudden disappearance of Polish RAF pilot Ziggy Kilinski - while battling the looting unleashed by the chaos and destruction of the Blitz.

Unbeknownst to Merlin and his team, Russian spies have also been set loose on the city - instructed to retrieve Stalin''s lost gold.

Kilinski''s fellow pilots, a disgraced Cambridge don, members of the Polish government in exile and a ruthless Russian gangster are amongst those caught up in Merlin''s enquiries.

Sweeping from Stalin''s Russia to Civil War Spain, Hitler''s Berlin to Churchill''s London, a compelling story of treasure, treachery, and murder unfolds.
