Duncan MacKinzie was a RAF pilot who set out on a secret mission above the Himalayas, never to be seen again. Peter MacKinzie is the son he never knew, now a thirty-year-old American reporter, who resolves to quit his job and unravel the mysteries surrounding his father's disappearance. He travels to London, where he soon discovers that his dad's ill-fated mission is still shrouded in secrecy. The more he digs, the more unanswered questions he uncovers. And somebody is determined to keep him the dark, as Peter soon finds out when he is first kidnapped and then framed for murder.Staying one step ahead of the police and the thugs on his trail, Peter travels to Calcutta in pursuit of Tashi, a beautiful and mysterious woman who holds some of the answers. But when Peter confronts her, Tashi is less then willing to part with her carefully guarded secrets. Peter unearths another piece of the puzzle when he steals a Calcutta Museum map of an ancient tomb hidden in the Tibetan mountains. There lie the ultimate answers to his father's disappearance. Peter must brave the bitterly cold and treacherous pathways of the Himalayas, while dodging attacks from his pursuers, as he follows in his father's thirty-year-old footsteps.
