A familiar huddled shape in the mouth of an alley catches his eye. A homeless man has been shot dead. As David steps forward, a police car arrives. And a second too late he realizes hes been set up. Trevellyan isnt worried. Hes a survivor from the shadowy world of Royal Navy Intelligence. Hes been in and out of trouble a thousand times before.
