Who would have thought one night with a beautiful woman could destroy everything? Michael Vaux used to be a journalist, covering international events. Then, he was honey-trapped into serving queen and country by the Secret Intelligence Service. Now, top officials at MI6 suspect one of their senior operatives of betrayal-and Vaux is top of the list. In the wake of anonymous charges of Vaux's disloyalty in top-secret operations, he's under scrutiny by the United Kingdom's top spy catcher. The evidence is mounting against him, but Vaux knows he's innocent. Who would frame him for treason? As a veteran spy, he must uncover the real mole before he ends up dishonored and dead.
