Sir Philip Moresby, Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Defense and the Prime Minister's personal advisor on intelligence and security, had just left 10 Downing Street. He had a cup of coffee. He told his secretary he was going for a walk in St. James Park, and, not really by chance, sat down on a bench next to a Libyan.Shortly thereafter, say half an hour or so, he was back at the Ministry of Defense and people came to call on him. The people turned Moresby's highly complicated world inside out.The people, generally, were highly, if often secretly, placed in the government. They were all very expert at their jobs; many were very ambitious, many were suspicious, all under orders, of one kind of another.They were dealing with matters of life and death, not only for individuals, but for nations. From London and St. James Park, to murder, and to the rugged countryside of Wales (where a man named Wyatt, a close friend of Moresby's is in command), this novel races along with authority, plus a beautiful redhead, and a lovely widow. And finally the Prime Minister is able to congratulate a man named Llewellyn Jones on his new appointment.
