It was an unusual predicament for Sir Stafford Nye - to awaken in a stupor after being drugged, only to find his passport stolen.

The target of two murder attempts, he now seeks the help of the stranger who so urgently sought his. If he can locate her. What he finds is a woman of numerous identities and twice as many secrets, who ushers him into the shadows of an international conspiracy that could well prove to be the death of them.
