In the heart of Geneva, a powerful figure is found dead in a locked office, his face a mask of terror and ecstasy—a grim reminder that not all secrets stay buried. As the investigation unfolds, a cryptic symbol—a seven-headed serpent—repeatedly emerges at the scene of this impossible "suicide," hinting at a dark, insidious force at work.

Enter Sir Tavish Stewart, a former army colonel turned antiquarian, seeking refuge in the quiet dusty corners of his shop. But when Dame Cynthia Sinclair, head of British Secret Intelligence, arrives with a fresh puzzle wrapped in a high body count, his sanctuary shatters. The shadows of his past refuse to let him go as he is pulled into a web of intrigue that spans the continent.

With the clock ticking and a sinister power targeting Europe's elite, Tavish must confront his own demons and delve deep into a world where technology and the supernatural collide. In this thrilling short story, loyalty, love, and the weight of past sins entwine in a dangerous dance that could unravel the fabric of reality itself.

Will Tavish decipher the clues before the serpent strikes again? Or will he find himself ensnared in the very shadows he thought he'd left behind?
