When Jim returns to Jersey to give evidence in court, Charlie asks him to find Anne-Claire Leighton, French wife of a business associate, who has gone missing and whose signature is required for an important transaction for Charlie's syndicate. Jim discovers that she is having an affair with D.C. Lomas but Charlie works out that bank manager Wenslow could profit if the deal falls through and goes to Charlie's rivals, and that Anne-Claire could be colluding with him and using Lomas. Jim must therefore find the lady and save his ex-colleague's job, as well as dealing with a proposal from Charlie that he sets up as a private eye.
