There’s a contract on Michael Havelock. His days are numbered. And his enemies are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to ensure his demise.
The directive is out. Michael Havelock, retired secret agent now searching for a peaceful life, is beyond salvage. He must be killed on sight. Somewhere in Havelock’s head is the key that connects him to the madman codenamed Parsifal. Parsifal’s Machiavellian manoeuvres in the citadels of power have brought the whole of humankind to the brink of destruction.
But for Havelock there’s more than life at stake. On a Costa Brava beach a trap is sprung. A blonde-haired woman is executed before his eyes. Is she his Jenna, the woman he loves so dearly?
