Duncan MacKinzie was an RAF pilot who set out on a secret mission above the Himalayas, never to be seen again. Peter MacKinzie is the son he never knew, now a thirty-year-old American reporter, who finally resolves to quit his job and unravel the mysteries surrounding his father's disappearance. He travels to London, where he soon discovers that his dad's ill-fated mission is still shrouded in secrecy. The more he digs, the more unanswered questions he uncovers. And somebody is determined to keep him in the dark, as Peter finds out when he is first kidnapped and then framed for murder. Staying one step ahead of the police and the thugs on his trail, Peter travels to Calcutta in pursuit of Tashi, a beautiful and mysterious woman who holds some of the answers.

There lie the ultimate answers to his father's disappearance--and to a mysterious power source that has been hidden for millennia.
