The story revolves around Jack Sainsbury, an employee who inadvertently uncovers a conspiracy involving his wealthy and seemingly patriotic employers, Lewin Rodwell and Sir Boyle Huntley. As Sainsbury grapples with the implications of what he has overheard regarding enemy espionage, the narrative explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the murky moral dilemmas faced during war. At the start of the novel, the tension is introduced through a conversation between Rodwell and Huntley, who are concerned about a young employee named Sainsbury potentially overhearing sensitive information. They plot to dispose of him, raising suspicion about their true motives. The scene then shifts to Sainsbury, who, while in love with Elise Shearman, senses something sinister in Rodwell’s dismissive remarks and sudden actions. The revelation of a high-stakes conspiracy soon follows, involving espionage and the shadowy underbelly of wartime society, as Sainsbury is thrust into a perilous situation where the safety of the British Empire hangs in the balance.
