First Tim Hollet’s parents mysteriously disappear, then his aunts – his Aunt Lizzy vanishing in mid-air aboard the AutogyroBus, his Aunt Jean from a locked room.
The only person offering help is Detective Manahan, a dachshund who becomes a tough-talking doberman as soon as he dons his trademark trench coat.
But as Tim enters a world of treachery, involving deep-sea diving off Alexandria, evading capture by the French Foreign Legion, and attempting to prevent the forthcoming war between Britain and France, he finds he can no longer trust anyone – including Manahan, his aunts, and even his parents.
