L'avvincente thriller di Simon Tolkien ambientato a Oxford, che vede l'ispettore Trave impegnato in una corsa per la giustizia contro inganni, cospirazioni e la lunga ombra del passato. Quando un eminente storico dell'arte viene trovato morto nel suo studio, tutte le prove puntano al figlio estraneo, Stephen. Con le sue impronte digitali sull'arma del delitto, la colpevolezza di Stephen sembra innegabile. Mentre la polizia inizia a interrogare altre cinque persone che si trovavano nella casa in quel momento, si scopre che il padre di Stephen era coinvolto alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale in una caccia mortale a una reliquia inestimabile nel nord della Francia, e il caso inizia a svelarsi. Mentre il processo di Stephen si svolge all'Old Bailey, l'ispettore Trave della polizia di Oxford decide di andare in Francia e scoprire cosa è successo veramente nel 1944. Quale manufatto potrebbe essere così prezioso da valere la pena di uccidere? Ma Trave ha pochissimo tempo: la corsa è iniziata per salvare Stephen dalla forca.
