The target – Israel’s leading nuclear scientist on a visit to London. 

          The assassins – An Arab terrorist, the only survivor of a three-man hit-squad ambushed by Israeli Intelligence in France but still an untried amateur, desperate to prove himself a killer. And McCoy, an IRA mercenary, who is to provide him with the weapons he needs and get him to get his target. 

          The tracker – A freelance working for British Intelligence. Jimmy is more lethal than any of them… but only when he’s sober.
