When disaffected KGB major Erich Stinnes is spotted in
Mexico City, British intelligence agent Bernard Samson must entice him to take
the final step and defect. With his domestic life in shambles and his career
heading towards disaster, Bernard needs to prove his re-liability. And he knows
Stinnes already: Bernard had been interrogated by him in East Berlin. But now,
Bernard risks being entangled in a lethal web of old loyalties and old
betrayals.
All he knows for sure is that he has to get Stinnes for
London. Who's pulling the strings is another matter.
