Description

£3m of Ming Dynasty treasures vanish from Geneva’s Museum of Far Eastern Art.

After what was a peculiar heist, suspicion falls on the Ahearne brothers who are being watched by police in the UK and Switzerland.

An undercover cop meeting is set in an attempt to recover the stolen artefacts, before they're gone for good.
