In different corners of the world four high-profile figures are
assassinated in less than a week. Nobody links the deaths but one thing
is certain: each of them has been stalked, sought out, and killed with
care and preparation. Then a sinister connection is established: a
single, blood-tipped rose is sent to each funeral and an unremarkable
female agent is murdered in Switzerland.
When MI5 come to MI6 to ask for help M brings in his best. At first, a
weekend abroad seems tempting to James Bond: especially when he's paired
with Flicka von Grusse, a gorgeous Swiss intelligence officer. But this
is a perilous assignment that starts with the mysterious actor David
Dragonpol and leads them to Athens, Milan, and on to EuroDisney...and an
explosive climax.
