When he makes an astonishing breakthrough at a nuclear research facility, he realises that the world sits on the cusp of unlimited energy for the foreseeable future. However, Leon and his technical colleagues receive no accolades, no rewards.

How can Leon find his beloved Magda? Abandoning his vital work, he must assist a Polish special police unit in their attempts to smash an international sex trafficking operation. Working undercover from within an emerging London cult society, Leon starts his covert researches into the city's sophisticated world of prostitution for the super-rich. But by now, he is a fugitive. Everyone wants to know the whereabouts of Leon Dabrowski - the oligarch he works for, his beleaguered colleagues, the madame of a brothel owned by the Russian mafiya . . . dangerous people are hunting for him. And there is one among them who harbours a shocking secret about Leon's early life.
