Sotheby's, London, 1936. A paper by Sir Isaac Newton is sold at auction to a bookseller's agent. Within minutes of leaving the auction house, he is killed and the paper stolen.

Katherine Reckliss inherits her grandmother's SOE radio and starts to pick up disturbing messages from occupied France, warning that a V1 containing the Secret Fire is being launched by the Nazis. Its target? Present-day London. So begins the desperate race to halt the Secret Fire, both in 1940s Nazi-occupied France and modern-day London. The clock is ticking as history starts to rewrite the future in a new and terrifying script...
