In 1906 Manchester, a revolutionary Rolls-Royce prototype called the Grey Ghost disappears from the streets. American detective Isaac Bell recovers the vehicle, but Marcus Peyton takes the blame for its theft anyway. His reputation destroyed, Peyton carries the shame to his grave. More than a century later, Peyton's grandson approaches treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo with a desperate request. He wants them to clear his grandfather's name and prove Marcus Peyton's innocence. The couple agrees to help, but they soon discover the case involves more than historical justice. The Grey Ghost has vanished again. Hidden somewhere inside the car lies an object of extraordinary rarity, something valuable enough to alter destinies. Ruthless men know about this treasure and will stop at nothing to claim it. They have detailed plans to find the missing Rolls-Royce. They also have plans for anyone who interferes with their search. Sam and Remi must race against time and dangerous enemies to solve a mystery that bridges two centuries. The stakes grow higher as they realize that clearing a dead man's name may cost them their lives.
