The grounds of a stately mansion in a beautiful but remote corner of the Scottish Highlands, and a tall, genial young man with a moustache and the tattoo of a fish on his left arm he’s nicknamed ‘Fish’ for John Fisher is creeping through the dark.
In his hand is a double-bladed dagger, designed for silent killing: a sharp thrust to the throat and the victim slumps dead in a pool of blood.
He is a master of close, unarmed combat and fieldcraft how to stalk an enemy unseen and how to survive in the wild as well as how to use explosives, a Sten gun and pistol.
