[edit] Plot summary

Gordon Reeve receives a phone call to say his brother has been found dead in his car in San Diego - the car was locked from the inside, and there was a gun in his hand. While in the US to identify the body, Gordon realises that his brother was murdered. It is soon obvious too that his own life is in danger. Back in Scotland he finds out that there have been visitors to his house and his home has been bugged by professionals. But Reeve is a professional too. A former SAS soldier, he realises an old colleague and enemy has come back.
