The Chichester is making a routine journey across the English Channel on a pleasant afternoon in June, when the steamer''s crew notice something strange.

Inspector French soon discovers a world of high-powered banking, luxury yachts and international double-dealing. British and French coastal towns, harbours-and of course the Channel itself-provide an alluring backdrop to this nautical adventure, along with a cast of shady characters.
