In the unending darkness of the London Blackout, an assassin slinks through the night, striking down victims with deadly accuracy. His targets are agents, killed while on watch. Department Z is baffled. Who is the silent killer, why is he targeting them, and what is their secret . . . just how are they managing to take down the best-trained agents in Britain? Gordon Craigie, Department Z's fearless leader, soon finds himself faced with the toughest challenge of his career--to catch the killer before his deadly skill falls into enemy hands, putting all of Europe in grave danger . . .

Mr. Creasey proves himself worthy of the chance." --The Times Literary Supplement
