"In 1944, an American bomber, carrying dead navigator Paul Mandrake, crashes in the Swiss Alps. Twenty-one years later, his son Peter learns that Stephen Craddock, the family lawyer, should be guardian of his father's university graduation diamond ring, worth half a million dollars. Craddock, a sinister character, denies this. Is the ring still with Paul in the lost bomber? Peter is determined to find the bomber and the ring."
