Description
An idyllic setting: Bright sunlight winking off a Highland loch and the purple heather loud with cavorting bees. But one beehive stands dismantled, its keeper vanished. That man is Lindsay Phillips, retired section head of the British Secret Service.
Peter Marlow, restless in his country retreat, believes he has escaped the half-lit world of espionage-until unexpected pressures impel him to take up the search for Phillips.
As Marlow's chase leads him and the reader unpredictably from Scotland to Oxford, and from Belgium to the capitals of Eastern Europe, he learns that his own journey on this tortured trail, blazed by deaths and treason, is a voyage into the agonizing recesses of public and private betrayal.
