Bernard Samson returns to London convinced that the Soviet penetration of British intelligence has not ended. Colleagues who want the scandal contained resist his suspicions, while evidence points toward a continuing network capable of manipulating operations from inside the Service. Bernard must investigate among people who know his habits, weaknesses and family history.

The first Samson trilogy closes by bringing Cold War rivalry into the offices and homes where Bernard once expected security. Professional distrust and domestic betrayal reinforce each other, and the hunt for the remaining agents makes clear that the consequences of Fiona’s defection will continue far beyond one case.
