Who would have thought one night with a beautiful woman could destroy everything? Michael Vaux used to be a journalist, covering international events. Then, he was honey-trapped into serving queen and country by the Secret Intelligence Service.

The evidence is mounting against him, but Vaux knows he's innocent. Who would frame him for treason? As a veteran spy, he must uncover the real mole before he ends up dishonored and dead.
