A political prisoner is taken from a Middle Eastern prison-camp and brought to England to give evidence against an Italian arms-dealer. But there is something fishy about the arrangement Interpol assigns Morgan Hunter-Brown to investigate.

Somehow too many people know that Parviz Vaziree is in Britain. One of his political colleagues comes out of hiding and is found dead in a Phone box.

The second death has to be murder, and Laleh has seen the killers. Meanwhile, somebody has taken Morgan off the case.
