Firecrest (novel)

The scientist Henry Dilling dies shortly after agreeing to sell some vital research to the British government. The papers are now missing and The Department assigns one of his agents John Grimster to track them down. Grimster was once a promising star of British intelligence but is now disgruntled as he believes that his superiors may have arranged the traffic accident that killed the Swedish woman he planned to marry, but who they regarded as a security risk.
