Drug traffickers in Morocco must be eliminated and Lady Jennifer Norrington, along with her compatriots, is once again involved in dangerous work. At the same time, she falls for a young German who is in Morocco to set up a business venture that will make him very rich indeed. He has good looks, brains and everything about him transfixes her. From the back alleys of Morocco the story moves to London, France and then Kenya, with murder and mayhem always present. There is a heart-stopping climax involving treachery, racing cars and murderous light aircraft, with the macabre episode of the sacred eels being only one episode in this thrilling title, whose main character has been described as the true heir to Bond.
