Detective Chief Inspector Harry Fathers
of Scotland Yard s Serious Crimes Squad
is articulate, canny, tenacious and one
step ahead of his so-called superiors. He
runs his squad with a firm hand, juggling
as many cases in a day as there are hours,
and laces his impeccable integrity with a
strong dose of irreverencc.
When Whitehall summons him it s for
a briefing on the disappearance of Dr.
Michael Sampson, a British research sci-
entist on loan to a New York-based think
tank. Sampson has disappeared. Since he
was working on satellite technology--
specifically SDI, or "Star Wars"--White-
hall wants some answers, and they send
Fathers to New York to get them.
"Given his work," says the steely-eyed
man from the Home Office, "his disap-
pearance must be a crime, and the list of
possible perpetrators begins with the
KGB and gets more outlandish from
there."
In New York, Fathers finds that the
situation involves the FBI as much as the
NYPD. The "official" line is that Samp-
son dropped out of sight of his own
accord; unfortunately all of his papers
have also disappeared in a series of "co-
incidental" burglaries. Cover up seems to
be the name of the game.
