The McKinnon Legacy

When the details of a man's lonely death in Africa reach the security services in the United Kingdom, the problem is how to deal with the contents of the testimony he had taped.

Paul Marshall begins to put two-and-two together and persuades his boss to undertake an innovative - some would say reckless - strategy for discovering and defeating the unknown menace.

The war is fought largely in the mind.
