that there could be Soviet spies among the genuine refugees and wants McGovern on-hand to keep an eye out As McGovern carries out his casework in Oxford and Blackstone investigates behind the scenes in London clues start to emerge that somehow this might all be linked The deeper they look the more unrelated characters with shady pasts start to complicate the picture the well-to-do madam the Classics Professor the East London crime boss the Oxford doctoral student the fiery Hungarian immigrant the government minister does it all lead back to the dead girl in King's Cross? Or is there something even more sinister going on?
