During a long and exotic career with his own export business, Oliver "Ollie" Thomas was also carrying out parallel assignments in Africa nd the Middle East loosely connected to British Intelligence. But, by using threats and blackmail, his controller, Major Alex Donaldson, was forcing Ollie to run secret money making schemes that included financial fraud, arms shipments to the IRA through Gadaffi and Libya, money laundering and assassination.
Now aged eighty-six, recently widowed and alone Ollie still struggles with guilt and anger over his past and decides to make one last attempt to track down and deal with Donaldson.
