Australiaโ€™s premier (and only) pop culture detectives, Alexei Toliopoulos and Cameron James have uncovered a bizarre Guinness World Record from 2005. A record held by an elusive European aristocrat. A record that they believe to be fake.

After the success of Finding Drago in 2019, the dream team reunite and fall into a whole new web of manifestos and false identities that takes them from the films of Orson Welles to the Island of Ibiza.

There was something unbelievable about Lord Sydney Lingโ€™s story. Two amateur detectives had to find out who he really was
