M9 receives a mayday signal from an agent in an Arab country. He has been compromised and is leaving the country. He is also the contact for an outstanding local spy called the Fish. Drake is sent to bring the Fish out. His cover is as a public relations representative, Max Wright, and he makes use of Gerdi, the woman who runs the local branch of the company. The local police inspector is very suspicious and makes it difficult for Drake. Things are further complicated when the real Max Wright appears.
