Burnside now has to find two replacement Sandbaggers after Denson and Landy getting killed.
The finishing school can only recommend Laura Dickens (Diane Keen) as ready for the job.
Reluctantly Burnside interviews her, but she turns out to be a cold person who tells Neil to his face that his department is silly boys playing at cowboys and Indians and that she'd rather be in an enemy country permanently working at a SIS "station" gathering data. Reluctantly she agrees to a temporary promotion to Sandbagger.
Dickens and Willie Caine are sent to discover why an SIS officer called Yardley is dead with a bullet wound , and dumped in a back street of Gibraltar. Caine goes to Gib, Dickens to Tangiers where Yardley was stationed.
Why did he suddenly get on a plane to Gib?
Meantime, big big trouble, Geoff Ross , London CIA man tells Burnside that one of his mission planners, Colin Groves, is seeing a Dr Sturdee, a shrink on Harley Street. CIA have a file on Sturdee documenting him as a recruiter for the KGB. Could Groves be passing secrets from under Burnsides' very nose ?
