Summary
In the labyrinthine alleys of Buenos Aires, a veteran British spy seeks refuge in a dimly lit hotel, haunted by his final clandestine mission. The target was an Argentine analyst, snatched by terrorists who sought to exploit his expertise. As the agent delved into the tangled web of his quarry's abduction, a captivating local woman entered his radar, complicating matters swiftly and fatally. Love, it seemed, had been recruited alongside duty in this dirty war.
