Scully was the housespy. At least that was what the Oldfields called him. But who was spying on whom?

Scully, that most unusual of policemen; Reg Oldfield, Minister for Economic Planning; and Oldfield’s American wife, Danny; these three were to be inseparable, because assassination or kidnapping were always on the cards. So Scully went to Paris, worried about the mysterious telephone calls, interested by the erratic behaviour of Danny Oldfield, not amused by the attempt to run him down. But Paris was only the first episode.

Wherever Oldfield went – his constituency, Amsterdam, Munich – there was danger, for him and for Scully, a danger which was sometimes violent in its effect, but often insubstantial and menacing. It was not until Scully flew to America that a pattern – a very strange pattern – began to emerge.
