What is The Messenger Bird about?

Nathan's father, a Ministry of Defence employee, is arrested for allegedly leaking top-secret information. Before being taken away, he entrusts Nathan with a cryptic message leading to a riddle from 1940, penned by ex-Bletchley Park worker Lily Kenley. As Nathan deciphers the clues, he uncovers a wartime mystery that may hold the key to proving his father's innocence. With time running out and trust in short supply, Nathan must solve the puzzle before it's too late.
