Publisher's Synopsis
Mark Farrow is coerced by the Section into accepting the sort of assignment from which he has always shied away: the cold-blooded assassination of another human being. That his intended victim is a woman makes him agonize even more. The contract is to be executed in Burgos, ancient city of Spain, but even before Farrow has left England a young associate is killed. Farrow is embroiled in a very deadly game, matched against many opponents, not least of whom is Farrow's own target, Anna Serov, brilliant KGB colonel with a personal score to settle.
