The story revolves around Paul Harley, an unofficial investigator who is drawn into a web of dangerous intrigue after a distinguished client, Sir Charles Abingdon, reveals that he believes his life is in jeopardy. As the narrative unfolds, the reader is introduced to themes of surveillance and espionage, setting the stage for a complex investigation that may involve powerful enemies and hidden motives. The opening of the book introduces Paul Harley during an uneventful day in his Chancery Lane office. He reflects on cases from his past when suddenly Sir Charles Abingdon arrives, visibly troubled and fearful. As they talk, Sir Charles details his concerns of being followed and mentions a recent assault against him. His account is punctuated by the unsettling notion that he has been the target of an unknown enemy connected to a mysterious figure he calls "Fire-Tongue." After agreeing to dine with Sir Charles that evening to discuss matters further, tragedy strikes when Sir Charles collapses and utters the name "Nicol Brinn" alongside "Fire-Tongue," leaving Harley to unravel the connections between these troubling names and the imminent peril that now surrounds him.
