David Callan works for The Section, a top-secret
counter-espionage organisation. He's a killer, a
trained assassin, and the best at what he does.
But that doesn't mean he has to like it.
With the aid of the burglar Lonely; fellow operative Meres; and Section secretary Liz, Callan fulfils the orders of departmental head Hunter and finds himself in very murky waters. Murder, betrayal and model soldiers. It's all in a day's work for Callan.
