A member of British Intelligence assumes a fictitious criminal identity and allows himself to be caught, imprisoned, and freed in order to infiltrate a spy organization and expose a traitor.
The trap is sprung... The orders were 'Go for Slade and the Scarperers - but especially Slade!' And for Owen Stannard this is the beginning of a new and deadly assignment.
The Scarperers, a brilliantly-organised gang for getting long-term prisoners out of gaol, have spring Slade, notorious Russian double agent. The trail leads Stannard to Malta and the mastermind behind the Scarperers: suave, cultured - and a killer. Face to face at last with both his opponents, Stannard must try to outwit these two men - who have nothing to lose and everything to gain by his death...
