Description

On-the-run spy Charlie Muffin investigates an accident aboard an ocean liner

They call Charlie Muffin a traitor. He has been on the lam ever since the blow-up in Berlin, when the Secret Service declared him obsolete and tried to kill him. Charlie outsmarted them then, and he has done so ever since, staying one step ahead by forgoing any semblance of a normal, happy life. Now he is alone in Hong Kong, and his only friend, Rupert Willoughby, is a hemisphere away. Now Rupert is in trouble. He has just invested �6 million in a massive new ocean liner when the ship is destroyed by arsonists, burning down to nothing in a Hong Kong harbor. The owners blame Chinese agents, but Charlie smells a rat and agrees to investigate. But the conspiracy is more dangerous than anyone knew, and it's not long before Charlie realizes that this good deed could be his last.
