The British Army are fighting a bloody undercover battle against an enemy close to home. Which is why they seem prepared to forget the ex-Major Simon Vaughan's past, spring him from prison and offer him a free hand - for in Northern Ireland it's time for the dog of war to have his savage day.
An aircrash investigator haunts the hinterlands of an island. A woman makes landfall on the island, and DJ Cormorant is trying to organise a rave on the adjacent airstrip.
