Harry Fielding is a shabby, solitary, but basically cheerful sort, living in a seamy flat in London and subsisting on a diet of gin and pre-packed airline meals in unmarked silver containers. He also works for M15. Surveillance, protection, the occasional rough-and-tumble just enough to keep body and soul together. However, when Harry witnesses Lisa, his next-door neighbour, killing and burying her sister's violent husband, he begins to lose his appetite. And when his routine shadowing of a cabinet minister and his mistress ends in her death by kitchen knife, he goes off his food entirely. Harry, the crooked man, decides to go straight.
