From the Persian Gulf to Europe, smaller parts of the cargo of various oil tankers keep disappearing. A filling error is ruled out, as are leaks resulting in oil losses on the high seas. Nor do the tankers deviate from their route or stop anywhere on their journey. Monitoring logs of the ship’s own pumps show that they were never started between loading and discharging. Questioning of the crew and officers yields no clues.
Jules Lederer, a problem solver from Switzerland, is hired by Ashram Ashawii, a commodities trader in London, to solve the mystery of the missing quantities. A typical assignment for Lederer, but one that soon turns into a nightmare.
Join Jules Lederer on his first adventure and visit Eritrea, Ethiopia and the British Isles with him.
