A taut 1960s spy-thriller built on moral ambiguity and shifting loyalties, where a detective's mission to arrest a suspect becomes a race to protect him from assassination.

Detective Scobie Malone accepts a mission to fly to London to arrest Sir James Quentin, a high-level commissioner wanted down under for murder. But when Malone arrives, he finds that the amiable Quentin is not only the key in groundbreaking peace negotiations, but also the target of an assassin himself.
