Two men stand in the shadow of a helicopter at midnight in London. One of them is Quiller, and he recalls his thoughts:

“My hands were growing cold and a lightness was coming into my head, and I had the same thought that we all have when we’re going into a mission: That we ought to get out now before it’s too late, before the luck runs out and we’re cast up in a Gulag labor camp or lashed blindfold to a post in Beirut or spread-eagled against a mountainside with a ripped parachute for a shroud and one last intimate friend plucking strength from us with his bone-white beak. But suddenly, this time, it was too late to get out. And Lord, I was afraid.”

This is Adam Hall’s tenth story of Quiller, the ultra-secret espionage agent, a “mission report” that takes the reader through the nerve-chilling labyrinth to the brink and back as he closes in on The Peking Target.
