As an antique map dealer in a small English town, Harry Blake appreciates the quiet life. But when a local landowner asks him to value a 400 year old journal and twelve hours later he is brutally murdered, Harry's peace of mind is shattered.

And he finally learns that at stake are millions of dollars and a plan to trigger nothing less than war...
