With the chief suspect behind bars, some of their closest associates are ready to talk. 

Gently, over the course of nearly a year, reporters George Odling and Andy Jehring follow a trail. Their enquiries eventually lead them to one person, who they believe might have some key information. One day, in a taxi coming back from a job in Europe, Andy gets a call… and it’s the stuff of journalists’ dreams. 

A source tells them that he knows where the diamonds are. 

So, armed with a terrifying briefing from a former British Army officer, a pair of burner phones, and the prospect of spending the rest of their lives looking over their shoulders for professional gangsters, Andy and George head back to Serbia to meet their man.
