Publisher's Synopsis
Mingling with the denizens of the underworld, taking their lives in their hands, and unknown even to their comrades at Scotland Yard, are the members of the Ghost Squad - an extra-legal organization answerable to one man only. The first Ghost operative detailed to discover the identity of the mastermind behind the buying and selling of official secrets is himself unmasked - and killed before he can report his findings to the squad. Detective-Inspector John Slade is his successor - but can he survive as he follows a tangled trail of treachery and murder?
