A savagely mutilated doll, the sinister reminder of the terrifying photos he had seen earlier in London, is in the shoe box given to Keegan as he embarks on the run from Belgium. He has been 'sold' by his creditor, Viney, to a London firm to clear himself financially. But the firm has elaborate games in mind: games involving a patsy . . . International security is at risk.

Events involving Arabs and Israelis and people who wanted him--dead!
