Summaries

A man is torn between tackling a sinister crime syndicate or turning a blind eye to the suffering it creates.

British archaeologist David Redfern comes to Tunisia to catalog a collection of art relics and stumbles into evidence of a gun-smuggling racket. Hesitant at first to get involved or even to report the information, he becomes convinced he must do the right thing after a young man is murdered. By then, though, the smugglers know Redfern knows too much and they target him for death.—Jim Beaver <[email protected]>
