Harry Fletcher, the Prime Minister, was worried, very worried. Negotiations with Washington and the outcome of a snap election were both endangered by the defection of an ultra left-wing MP.

Equally embarrassing was Moscow's proposed return of Victor Delmuth as 'not wanted', the scandal must be kept quiet at all costs. Charles Russell, Head of Security Executive, would do his part, coldly, ruthlessly, even though he hated the PM's guts.

But what of James Mott who had acted as unofficial go-between in the Delmuth affair? Could he still be trusted to keep silent when threatened by a rival gambling chain out for his business and the PM's blood? Fletcher decided the risk was too great, but when Lady Luck ran out on Mott it was time for Russell to play his ace.
