Magnus Owen was a soured journalist with a true Fleet Street man’s thirst for news and booze. When he took on the sinister ‘Brotherhood of Virtue’ he found himself involved in some unnerving happenings. A cold-blooded shooting in a London Hotel, a nightmare imprisonment in the frozen lava fastnesses of Iceland, a particularly messy assassination on a dark road somewhere in Poland, these were just samples. The Brotherhood had some very nasty weapons in their armoury: blackmail, frame-ups, murder. Their network was world-wide. Their members included communists and capitalists, fighting for a common cause. Formidable opposition for a newshound and a beautiful undercover agent called Maya.
