March, 1943. Foyle’s life is turned upside down when his god-daughter, Lydia, and her seven year old son, James, turn up on his doorstep needing somewhere to stay. They have nowhere else to go. James has been severely traumatised by a bombing at his London school where most of his classmates and teachers were killed; he hasn’t spoken a word since. Soon after their arrival, Lydia disappears. Ably assisted by Sam, Foyle has to care for Lydia’s troubled young son until he can find Lydia and bring her safely home.

To add to the pressure, a series of sabotage cases is keeping Foyle very busy; something that isn’t pleasing his boss, Assistant Commissioner Parkins, who would rather Foyle spend his time stamping out the increase in illegal gaming along the South Coast.

Sabotage and gambling come together when a local man and gambler is found murdered near a military research centre. This military building is also the target of some internationally-funded saboteurs and Foyle enters the top secret arena of weapons research in his pursuit of the truth.
