Plot

The title refers to the scytale, a military coding system and one of the oldest messages in history. We know that the story takes place during World War II in 1944 when Olrik will be present and our heroes will visit Gibraltar and London. The plot will reveal why Blake and Mortimer live in Park Lane.
