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 charged with embezzlement at the British Embassy in America, but as Daniel digs deeper into the case, it becomes clear that vengeance is involved. When a witness is murdered in America, suspicion falls on Sidney. But is somebody trying to frame him? If so, who and why? Daniel follows a trail that uncovers another murder, and leads from Washington to a dramatic scene in court
