Outline

DCI Silva and DS Longacre continue their relationship, with the latter pregnant. The couple investigate a botched drone demonstration drill at a British military base in Scotland, which ended with the deaths of several British military personnel and delegates from Wudyan, an authoritarian Middle Eastern monarchy. A drone controller is suspected of piloting the rogue drones but the detectives suspect a bigger conspiracy. Air Vice-Marshal Marcus Grainger is involved in a lucrative partnership to export military drones to Wudyan amidst human rights concerns. Longacre detains a dissident Wudyan journalist who was spying on the test demonstration. While searching for a missing British Air Force officer Anthony Chapman and his daughter Sabitha, Silva and Longacre discover that an assassin has killed the Chapman but find Sabitha.
