1949: William Catesby returns to London in disgrace, accused of
murdering a 'double-dipper' the Americans believed to be one of
their own. His left-wing sympathies have him singled out as a
traitor. Henry Bone throws him a lifeline, sending him to
Marseille, ostensibly to report on dockers' strikes and keep tabs
on the errant wife of a British diplomat. But there's a catch. For
his cover story, he's demobbed from the service and tricked out as
writer researching a book on the Resistance. In Marseille, Catesby
is caught in a deadly vice between the CIA and the mafia, who are
colluding to fuel the war in Indochina. Swept eastwards to Laos
himself, he remains uncertain of the true purpose behind his
mission, though he has his suspicions: Bone has murder on his mind,
and the target is a former comrade from Catesby's SOE days. The
question is, which one.
