He explains that spinster Violet Douglas had recently died, leaving her entire estate to the Queen. Unfortunately, the bequest included a half-share in an Icelandic air freight company, which was a suspected front for an illegal bootlegging operation! But on arrival at his Reykjavik hotel, Gaunt receives mysterious threats and soon he finds his life is in danger...
