Will Landon is a junior SIS officer. The head of the Asian department has commited suicide, and Landon’s job is damage limitation. The first surprise is that the dead spy had a publicity agent of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the family. The second one is that SIS didn’t know his sister-in-law even existed.
Meanwhile, ruthlessly ambitious Jill Sheridan – is engaged in some damage limitation of her own. It’s bad enough when someone tries to blackmail Jill by involving her in a pornographic movie. More importantly, though, how did an Islamic terrorist group find out where she was?
It’s finally Landon who makes the connection between these two incidents and bottles of illicit “whiskey” that turn out to contain a poison that could wipe out half the population of London.

A classic spy novel, one of the best Egleton has written, using two of his strongest skills: authentic detail and relentless probing to reveal treachery buried deep in the past.
Arcane plot twists, exotic settings and bursts of violence, with a dollop of civilized sex . . .great.
As intense and chilling as le Carré, Egleton is one of today's best thriller writers
Egleton...creates a tense thriller cast in the mould of a John le Carre.
...Egleton combines the day-to-day tradecraft of the spy genre with pulse-racing bursts of action.
