The story

Detective Inspector Jack Regan and Detective Sergeant George Carter become embroiled in a deadly political scandal. One of the leading members of the British government, Charles Baker, is about to secure a huge deal with OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), stabilising the world oil market and boosting Britain's position within it. Baker is a rising star in the government, regarded as a future prime minister, and he is closely controlled by his urbane, manipulative American press secretary, Elliot McQueen.
