Robert Lane, an agent for the ultra-secret
government department known as Sector Three, is sent to locate the abductors of
Sir Gordon Thurston, the incoming Head of MI6. He discovers that this is the
work of an ex-KGB General, Pilatov, whose purpose is to unite a number of
powerful pro-Soviet groups into a single force to bring about the restoration
of the old regime in Russia. He has kidnapped Sir Gordon as a demonstration of
his capabilities, as well as to gain information about British Intelligence by
interrogation. Lane
traces the Pilatov cell to Portugal, and then to Italy. In Milan, a local agent
tells Lane that Pilatov's ultimate aim is to transport Sir Gordon to Russia, to
a desolate area called Monchegorsk where he is to be interrogated in the feared
Zemitimir Institute.
But
this is not to be. Sir Gordon is killed
when Lane’s attempt at a recue fails, but the game is not over. The Sector’s orders are adamant: Pilatov must be neutralized before he can make
use of any information that Sir Gordon might have disclosed. When Pilatov is reported to
have fled to Egypt, Lane leaves Monchegorsk in pursuit. He knows that this will
be anticipated, and that Pilatov is enraged at the loss of his credibility
among the other pro-Soviet factions. Lane gets to Luxor knowing that he is a
marked man, that somewhere Pilatov waits...
