Thieves break into Beresford Chemicals in Hampshire and steal vital papers. The company’s managing director, Jack Priestland is understandably concerned, particularly when the police are unable to find any clues as to how the culprits were able to penetrate the sophisticated electronic security system at the plant. But no-one has considered that Priestland’s son Malcolm, a mathematical genius who has been taught by computers, may be the true perpetrator…
