Set against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Europe, the novel follows Carruthers, a London professional, who is drawn into a web of espionage during a sailing trip with his friend Davies along the German North Sea coast. Initially seeking leisure, they uncover suspicious activities hinting at a potential German invasion of Britain.
