Connor Jackson is back in his beloved Lower Molehampton after returning from a madcap underground adventure in the world of moles. He thought he could return to his normal life as a civil servant, but how wrong he was. It all started with the appearance of a Buddhist monk, which first alerted Connor's suspicion that something was about to happen again. Then Connor started receiving strange messages which meant nothing to him at all, leading him to believe someone or some people were feeding him information for a purpose. After piecing some obscure facts together and investigating the devious Forsythe-Twyke family, Connor realised the world of moles was only the tip of the iceberg. Shocked at what he discovered, Connor is thrown into another adventure and this one takes him far away from Lower Molehampton, to a place where he discovers the truth about a global plot for power.
