After the First Crusade, a William Friese-Gibbons brought back a friend named Hussain el-Malik to England. William also brought back some relics from The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the form of a solid gold cross and wrote a coded Chronicle about its hiding place.

However, the hot headed and jealous sons of the late Barons did not like the idea of el-Malik living among them. They murdered him in a most brutal manner. The curse el-Malik gave just before he died, ensured the perpetrators of his murder died most horribly and William Friese-Gibbons made sure this happened. Over time, the Chronicle was lost being hidden by William Friese-Gibbons and the secret went with him to the grave. However, several incidences occurred and David Latimer found himself in the middle of a mystery as to the whereabouts of the relics and also being followed by a gang of criminals who would stop at nothing to get hold of the very valuable Cross.
