For private investigator Harry Steadman things are going well, or at least not badly.
Business is steady and he has a good
set of loyal colleagues.
Then one day a Mossad agent called Goldenblatt turns up and asks him to find a missing agent. Having rid himself of all contact with Israeli Intelligence, Harry
refuses. Even when he discovers that the man is in fact the younger brother of his dead girlfriend, Harry is not swayed.
But his
business partner Maggie sees only the money.
When Harry returns from a trip to the north he receives a horrible shock. In the early hours of the morning he wakes to find her nailed to his doorframe with her tongue cut out.
Still Harry refuses to help. Having seen first hand the bloody outcome of revenge killing he wants no part of it, but soon he finds himself being blackmailed into action by MI5 agent Pope.
He task is to gather information on arms manufacturer Edward Gant but he suspects that he is being set up. The assignment is simple but Harry knows that he is not being told the whole story.
He hooks up with Holly Miles who claims to be a freelance journalist and finds himself drawn into a dangerous game where nothing is as it seems.
Neo-Nazi Thulists are planning to take over using power sapped from a ritual involving the spear that pierced the side of Christ. Government officials are in on the plot and Harry’s clients are being used to spy on him.
Harry is heading for disaster and that’s not all. At the end lies a showdown with the Riechsfürher himself; Heidrich Himmler.
