London, 1940. After years of pilfering from the affluent and providing for themselves, Ellie McDonnell and her family have turned a new leaf as they assist the government's war effort. It is true that the upright Major Ramsey did not give them much choice, but Ellie must admit that she does not miss breaking and entering as much as she might have imagined. What she does miss is the thrill of deciphering an impenetrable code and the adrenaline rush that comes from being in a place she shouldn't. So, when Major Ramsey unexpectedly arrives with another assignment, she cannot refuse. A woman's body has been discovered floating in the Thames, with a bracelet locked onto her wrist and a cameo locket attached to it. It is evident that this woman was involved in espionage, but on which side was she? Whom was she reporting to? And who wanted her dead?
