About This Book
"It'll be simple", they said at the Department. "You'll just be a messenger boy". But to Alan Stewart, on a deserted road in Iceland with a murdered man at his feet, it looks anything but simple. Someone very ruthless is after the innocent-looking parcel he carries, and Kenniken, a Russian agent with the best of reasons for hating him, has followed him to Iceland.
