A ruthless skilled terrorist squad are in England killing high level targets. Their aim is to have the British Government remove all soldiers from the war zones across the Middle East opening the way for anarchy and revolution. Their planning has been extensive and years in the making and every step the authorities take to catch them ends in failure. Sir Kenneth Willoughby, head of the British Secret Service, suspects they are being helped by a traitor inside his department and not knowing who to trust, has to look elsewhere for help. He realises that his only option is a man called Tom Revilo, someone who has been out of the great game for a number of years, a hard, clever man not necessarily suited to the corridors of power he will now have to navigate. Dragged back from obscurity. His task - to kill the terrorists, catch the traitor and be damn quick about it.
