"Morley is an aging Vietnam veteran turned U.S. agent. He has busted an international drug ring in Belgium and, although he is sure he didn't get the big-money man, his superiors have closed the case. After recuperating in London from an attack that almost killed him, Morley is sent back to Brussels on a milk run. Now he's got forty-eight hours to interview an aged marionetteer.The old man claims he has a hot tip for the agency on an unrelated case. Then the killing begins." "The rainy city of Brussels is the dark, brooding setting for the intense play of lust, greed, and betrayal launched with brutal suddenness by the murder of the old man in a theater. The old man may have smuggled a group of terrorists into Brussels, but his major sin is to have caused the return of Morley, whose enemies still operate in secret."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
