An old tunnel is found beneath Jakarta, its entrance inside the Jakarta History Museum, and it is believed to lead to the hiding place of the Dutch East India Company's gold. Above ground, the city is gripped by mysterious killings: one prominent man after another is found dead in a place whose name begins with B, each with a strange message quoting the Seven Social Sins named by Mahatma Gandhi. To solve the secret of Meede, a young military intelligence officer must face an anarchist who was his close friend at school, and the two rivals also compete for the attention of a Dutch student researching the colonial economy, who holds secrets of her own.
