An aftermath of the Falklands War, the gripping action of this intriguing spy/thriller starts with the sinking of the Argentine battle cruiser General Belgrano in May 1982. Many lives were lost, including, in the story, the son of a wealthy meat packer and shipper with a business in Buenos Aires. Working in the city as a shipping and MI6 Agent is Harry Bolitho. He gets wind of a plot, run by the businessman and involving young survivors of the sinking, to use one of his container ships to carry an Exocet missile, in a container, to the UK, and release it against one of its nuclear power stations. By informing the British Foreign Office it is hoped to foil the attack. Bolitho's information is not believed at first, and a young female MI6 agent is sent out to check whether it is true or not. There are many difficulties on the way, and it is doubtful, until the end, whether the attack will succeed.
