Plot

Malcolm Jaggard calls himself an economist, but is really working undercover for British Intelligence. He is engaged to geneticist Dr Penelope Ashton and was spending a weekend at her parents’ home when her sister was viciously attacked by a stranger who threw acid on her face. Jaggard uses his position to investigate the Ashtons and finds to his surprise that the identity of her father, George Ashton, is classified to the highest levels. He is also surprised when his superiors order him to guard the Ashtons against further attacks at all costs, without revealing his own true identity even to Penelope Ashton.
