November 1943. A lone cargo ship sailed from Cape Town, South Africa, to the United States with a cargo vital to the United States' capability to continue the war against the Axis Forces in Europe. Unknown to the ship's commanding officer, along with the cargo he was carrying, a separate cargo had also been placed aboard his ship. When he reached his destination, that cargo was secretly unloaded and transferred to a waiting armored car. The cargo was to be transported to a secure storage facility, but it never reached its destination. The vehicle was forced off the road. The three armored car employees were shot, and the cargo was stolen. Those responsible were never apprehended, and the cargo was never recovered. Seventy-five years later, a chance encounter of a misplaced letter in a Holocaust museum file in Israel by a Stanford student revealed exactly what had happened on that fateful day in November 1943. To determine if what was in the letter was factual, he decided to look into it. He immediately disappeared. Vince Nagy, a private detective, was hired to find him. What seemed like a run-of-the-mill case turned out to be anything but that. Attempts on his life and the murders of others brought in local law enforcement and the FBI.
