A Zeppelin crashes on a Brighton school field, creating fears of renewed war with Germany. Clara finds the only person aboard dead from a gunshot and suspects that the airship’s arrival reflects a local crime rather than an international attack.
Reporter Gilbert McMillan pursues the story and then disappears, drawing the army and police into the inquiry. Clara’s search leads to a corrupt nobleman, an old act of wartime betrayal and a question about who intended the airship and its dead passenger to reach England.
