From the cover: John Brodericks novel is a study of loyalty and fidelity set amidst the grubby and ruthless intrigues of the British secret service. A cell of extremist terrorists with international connections has established itself in London to spearhead a series of anti-Semitic attacks. The attempt to infiltrate the cell, discover its leader and eradicate both binds together a wide variety of people: government officials, ministers of the church, agents, lovers and adulterers, the upper class intellectual and the lowest class of alcoholic derelict.
In a tersely written, tightly structured thriller these characters are in perpetual conflict not only with each other but with their own feelings and conscience. The novels climax concerns the brutal and calculating deals necessary to ensure an honourable temporary peace in a secret war in which loyalty and betrayal mean everything.
