Not the type to shy away either from posh
surroundings or from a game with high
stakes, Philis-the wisecracking super-
agent hailed as "the latter-day James
Bond" by The New York Times Book Re-
view--is only too happy to accept his boss
Pawson s invitation to join him in a game
of bridge at an exclusive club. Certain that
he stands to win o great deal of money,
Philis instead suffers surprising reverses by
the end that leave him more in debt than
he thought possible. What to do? Pawson,
ever-resourceful, comes up with a solution
that gives Philis his first taste of gainful em-
ployment outside SR(2), the top-secret
branch of British intelligence.
As it happens, Pawson and SR(2) owe a
few favors to Simon Denny, an oil million-
aire whose daughter has recently disap-
peared. On the face of it, the case is
simple enough: locate a college giri who
left school without a trace. The only catch
is that the best private detective agency in
the country hasn t been able to find her.
Never one to confine himself to conven-
tional methods, Philis is undaunted in his
pursuit of Vanessa Denny. When he comes
within an inch of losing his life, he knows
he~s on the right trail-one that lands him
in the middle of a dangerous cult that has
left terror and destruction in its wake on
more than one continent. Unless he plays
his cards right this time, Philis isn t likely to
come out alive.
