September 2008. Without warning or explanation, an elite group of hedge fund managers disappear from their City headquarters. Rumours spread through glass offices and cocktail bars. Reports of strange happenings on Cheapside, abandoned experiments; esoteric financial mechanisms gone wrong, and vigilantes on the prowl. Three years on, and a team of investigators operating below the radar attempt to uncover the truth. Join the team at their Investigations Site Office in Central London as they probe the dark heart of a banking system in crisis. Who were these Missing Persons? What clues can be gleaned from their deserted workstations; from the mysterious patterns of the FTSE Index itself?
