Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in a house that wasn't on any map.

The house was in a village, and the village wasn't on any map either.

The man had bought the land from the Ministry of Defence, who had used it to train soldiers

during World War II.

The man bought the land through a complicated web of shell companies, so the Ministry of Defence

never knew who the real owner was.

And then, the man bribed some other men in the government to lose all records of the

transaction, so that the man could live on his land in peace without being bothered by officials

or the inland revenue or any nasty policeman.

The man lived in his house with his adopted sister Nikisha, his friend Sebastian, his

aunt Lily and his faithful housekeeper Mrs Boone. Say hello, Mrs Boone.

Hello, everyone.

Not now, Aunt Lily.

And then, one day, after years of living in peace and harmony,

those sneaky tow rags in British intelligence sent a young lady to find the man.

I'm looking for Aldrich Kemp.

They'd filled the unfortunate girl's head with all sorts of nonsense about the man.

He's a thief. A smuggler, a killer, a liar.

The Themis Group has tendrils everywhere. Through governments, intelligence services, law enforcement.

An organized crime syndicate so powerful that no one's ever heard of it.

Evidence gathered vanishes under thin air, witnesses recant, crooked politicians shut down investigations.
