"Harry Delamere has agreed to a midnight meeting in the shipyard where Britain's newest battleship is being built. But all he finds is a man with a knife in his chest, and now Harry is wanted for murder. Not only are the police on his trail but other, more shadowy powers want him dead.
Escaping arrest, Harry is hunted through the streets of the capital. Through a series of mysterious encounters and deadly clashes he uncovers a plot to steal valuable naval technology. Harry Delamere is determined to discover the truth, or - more likely - die trying."
