Teaming up with the QIA Agents of the Hong Kong Hub on a joint mission to investigate the murder of a Pakistani doctor two years ago, Sarah Cunnington finds herself beset on all sides by intrigue, mystery and conspiracies. If she can figure out who are her friends and who are her enemies, she might just survive…

Sarah meets Director Lao and the Hong Kong Field Team, including Agent Xuē "Adrian" Wenquan, whose name rings a bell. Adrian and Sarah spend some time comparing notes on the Medical Journal they have been translating, and Adrian tells her about a secret mission that could be related to its contents.

She, Captain Wan Li and Agent Huang Chuntao Jump to Karachi, 2017, to question Jilani's widow, Nida Ansar, and learn that Jilani was secretly working for a company in Istanbul while betraying the QIA in CERN, and that he may have been murdered by Jacob Dorody.

After leaving Nida's house, Sarah is struck by a van and then attacked by two people, who attempt to sedate her. However, she is able to Jump in time, and she returns to London.
