A hyperactive, but bright child is neglected by his parents.
Sexually abused first by a professional nanny, then a schoolmaster turns him into a seething serial bi-sexual abuser himself, determined to get revenge.
As an adult he reaches great heights in his City career but his anger at his parents and the world turns him into a psychopath prepared to stop at nothing for the one person in the world for whom he has respect.
Sally, a pretty London secretary starts to suspect a financial scam and he orders her to be abducted, raped and murdered by two low-life villains as a reward for their help.
Sam, a professional photographer, who's escaping from the Friday night London rush hour, takes a shortcut across the Chiltern Hills and sees the abduction.
He chases the car and manages to rescue her, but the culprit escapes. Her car is damaged and Sam arranges a room for her in the hotel he was booked into. He inexplicably falls head over heels in love with her over dinner, but the next day she has vanished.
All he has of her is a miniature photo from a locket she had left behind. On it is a picture of her with a man, possibly her father. In the background is a tiny clue.
Without any notion of the danger he is getting himself into, he is determined to try, but can he possibly find her?
All characters are completely fictitious and no connection with any actual person is intended. However, a scam similar to the Probus Enigma was actually perpetrated, and the author, John Hale, was instrumental in rescuing a number of people who would have suffered from it. Many of the small events detailed, places and establishments described and used, actually occurred, and geographical and historical information, is based on actual fact.
