Summary
In the long war of nerves between East and West, British agent David Callan has distinguished himself as a valuable asset: a competent killer who understands all the political and psychological angles. But after a stint in Soviet prison, Callan wants out of the game. His coldly calculating superiors, Hunter and Bishop, have other ideas. Callan soon learns that leaving his profession might be more dangerous than staying in and the men like him have as much to fear from friends as he does from his enemies
