Diadem

An ordinary day at Halsteads Valuers in London is turned upside down for Des Mason, Head of Ancient Artifacts, when Russian beauty, Gloria Lorskaya, arrives with a diadem, she claims dates from Ancient Troy, for his valuation.

Later that same evening, his girlfriend, Charlie, a passionate pro-European, reminds him of his previous drunken promise to infiltrate the Vote OUT campaign disguised as Desiree; the aim being to discover and hopefully thwart that campaign’s plans in the lead up to the European Referendum 2016.

Thus begins for Des a search not only for the truth behind the story of the Trojan War but also for the dark Russian forces aiming to manipulate the Referendum and ultimately for his own gender identity.
