While Ralph waits in jail for the judge to pass sentence, Toby Whitby must discover what Ralph was doing while bombs were falling and London was burning.

When Ralph declares that it is his patriotic duty to keep silent, Toby alone must find the answers. Why are Ralph's children missing? Why is Ralph's wife desperate for money? Why is a brand new bicycle delivered to Ralph's front door, and what unexpected event is happening every night at Buckingham Palace…?
