When Corporal Ron Blagg shot down a German registrar of births and deaths, the Secret Service chose to forget he'd been working for them at the time.

Now Corporal Blagg's AWOL and running very scared. If anyone can help him it'll have to be another soldier. A soldier who can survive in the world of pinstriped cloak and old school dagger. A soldier like Major Harry Maxim.

It's not long before the conduct of Major Maxim in places as diverse as Billy Dann's boxing gym and a German garrison town is causing some concern in the more sensitive corridors of Whitehall.
