    • London, November, 1956. DI Ted Stratton is tasked with investigating the murder of Jeremy Lloyd, a strange young man with a taste for esoteric religion. Stratton's enquiries lead him to Suffolk, where the mysterious Mr Roth has founded a Foundation for Spiritual Understanding. Apparently Lloyd had believed himself marked out for great things. But at the Foundation, Stratton meets twelve-year-old Michael who is proclaimed as the next incarnation in a long line of spiritual leaders that stretches back to Christ and Buddha. He is rumoured amongst Roth's disciples to have been immaculately conceived, but the woman who is said to be his mother, and whose photograph was cherished by Lloyd, has disappeared. When a woman's body is found in woods nearby, Stratton initially assumes he has found 'the mother', but the reality turns out to be far stranger and far more terrifying...

      Londen, juni 1940. Wanneer het lichaam van actrice Mabel Morgan wordt gevonden, gespietst op een hek, oordeelt de lijkschouwer dat het om zelfmoord gaat. Maar brigadier Ted Stratton van Criminele Zaken is niet overtuigd. Ondanks tegenwerking van zijn superieuren begint hij rond te vragen, en krijgt hij het vermoeden dat Morgans fatale val uit een raam het werk moet zijn geweest van een van Soho s beruchtste gangsters. Pas wanneer Ted in contact komt met Diana Calthrop van de Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst, die haar invloedrijke baas sir Neville Apse verdenkt van betrokkenheid bij spionage, komt de waarheid dichterbij. Als bovendien de connecties tussen Morgan, Apse en enkele geheime organisaties duidelijker worden, moeten Diana en Ted steeds meer op hun hoede zijn.
