Siblings Ian and John Jenkins were both R.A.F. pilots. Ian was the elder, calm and confident. John was younger and hot‑headed, a definite firebrand. Based in the North-East of Scotland, they protected the coast against attack from the marauding Luftwaffe. However, when tragedy struck, John found himself embroiled in a mystery - one that involved death, destruction and even espionage. And it seemed there was a family connection. The firebrand was determined to find the answers... whatever the cost.
