London-based computer expert (and former MI6 agent) Khadijah Adiyeme reluctantly agrees to join her. They find themselves up against a German agent, Marie Schmidt, but soon they realise they should all work together. With them is a psychologist from Colombia, Graciela, who is just keen to get home to her family. The group travel from the cafés of Paris to the souks of Morocco and an art auction in Shanghai.
