Robert Lane, an agent working for the ultra-secret government department known as Sector Three, is sent to Portugal to find the abductors of Sir Gordon Thurston, the newly-appointed Head of MI6.
He learns that their leader is Pilatov, an ex- KGB General who has organised the kidnapping to demonstrate to other Pro-Soviet factions what could be achieved by collaborating to restore the old regime in Russia. Pilatov quickly recognises the threat that Lane represents and orders his death before taking Sir Gordon to Italy where arrangements have been made to transport the group to a prepared interrogation centre in a desolate region of Russia.
Lane survives and follows the Pilatov cell to Milan, where he keeps a rendezvous with a local Sector agent. After Lane is told that Pilatov's destination is Monchegorsk, a place poisoned by industrial pollution, he is captured and the agent killed. Lane eventually escapes and, with the help of Sector Three's man inside Pilatov's cell, travels to Monchegorsk and makes contact with Sector Three's local operatives.
It has been discovered that Sir Gordon is being held in an apartment in the town, pending his transfer to the Zemitimir Institute for intensive interrogation. Lane keeps the apartment under surveillance until the Pilatov cell leave with Sir Gordon, who is killed during an attempted rescue. Of Pilatov there is no sign.
Lane relays the events to London Control, who refuse to consider the mission to be over, since it is not known how much information Sir Gordon was forced to divulge. Pilatov has sought shelter with sympathisers in Egypt, and Lane is ordered to eliminate him there.
As he begins the journey to Luxor, Lane knows that he is a marked man. Pilatov will expect pursuit and be ready, anxious to take revenge for the destruction of his plans and for his loss of face with the other pro-Soviet groups who he sought to involve.
Lane is satisfied that he boarded the plane undetected, and that he is safe for the foreseeable future. But in Luxor, Pilatov is waiting...
