Summary

One moment the Ambassador was silhouetted against a lighted window, the next he was a crumpled figure on the floor. But it was more than a simple murder, as Tommy Hambledon was to discover: it was merely the beginning of a chain of unexpected violent happenings whose links were to lead him to the twisted back streets of Paris where he was unwittingly to stumble against violence, hatred and cunning, and, surprisingly enough, great courage.
