Easter 1965 and radical Wellington students are threatening President Johnson' s envoy, here to urge New Zealand to commit troops to its Vietnam campaign. American `advisers' warn our security services of violent action by a disaffected anarchist. In his fourth outing, former detective and spy-catcher Dan Delaney is first on the scene of a woman dead in a hot tub and his good friend Ru Patterson unconscious beside her. The deceased is a security agent attempting to infiltrate Patterson' s left-wing circle, which includes radical students such as the anarchist and Ru' s headstrong daughter Hine, Dan' s goddaughter. The authorities demand Dan' s help. Delaney is caught up in gang and police threats to Hine, a police raid on a suspected marijuana dealer, an SIS interrogation, the planting of an incendiary device, an unexpected encounter with Prime Minister Keith Holyoake, student confrontation at the envoy' s airport motel, response to a Parliamentary intrusion with Special Task Force marksmen surrounding the building.
