Moments after James discovers a secret code on the pages of the manuscript, a hooded figure murders a professor and steals the manuscript from Oxford University.

 

While James is receiving medical attention, he discovers a secret about his past that he was never supposed to know.

 

Instead of staying on bed rest, James decides to leave town and uncover the truth. But, DI Alice O’Donnell puts a hold on his passport, believing James organised the murder and theft. Before he leaves for New York, James must investigate the truth behind the lab break-in.

 

As his investigation digs deeper, James discovers everyone has means, motive, opportunity and something to hide.

 

With an endless list of possible suspects, James must clear his name, find the manuscript, and identify the murderer before they strike again.
