Braun's street-wise team of child informants, the Ministry Seven, is in grave peril, and Books and Braun must return to England immediately.

The Ministry has been disavowed, and the Department of Imperial Inconveniences has been called in to decommission its agents in a most deadly fashion. The plan reeks of the Maestro's dastardly scheming.
