A very important international meeting is planned in Baghdad, but a secret organisation wants to sabotage it. Meanwhile, when a man dies in Victoria's hotel room, he whispers three words to her: '… Lucifer … Basrah … Lefarge …' What do these words mean? And what does it have to do with the meeting?
