Fifty years ago a catastrophic fire during testing of Moon Module Apollo 1 killed the three crew members. Shortly after, eight powerful men met in a small Californian coastal town to ensure America’s planned moon landing will be a perceived success.

Fast-forward thirty-five years to September 2002 and a celebrated investigative reporter is murdered at BBC headquarters in London moments before he was going to broadcast an explosive story about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

A coded message hidden in the lyrics of a thirty-year old song hides a shocking secret connecting the two events.

An innocent chat at a baggage carousel at Prague airport catapults music journalist Jack Conrad into a race against time to decipher the secret of this song. He is immediately plunged into a murky world of counter-intelligence, international security, misinformation and extreme violence, surviving various attempts on his life through his own unpredictable behaviour.

His urgent quest takes him from Europe to the Saudi Arabian desert and ends in Seattle with key witnesses meeting sudden, apparently accidental deaths. Conrad’s resilience and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity reveals a sinister global network and uncovers two previously unsuspected high-profile murders.
