That sour, cynical veteran of British Intelligence, Peter Feltham, finds himself on a gritty assignment to uncover the head of the Hierarchy, an international Syndicate-like terrorist organization. The agent's roundabout quest takes him from Port Said, across the Sinai into Israel, and over to Cyprus as he tracks a convoy of coffins, one of which is filled with 5 million dollars. A scenic jaunt with a knowing ambience.
