Μια ανώνυμη επιστολή κατηγορεί τον Σάμιουελ Φέναν, στέλεχος του Υπ. Εξωτερικών, ότι υπήρξε μέλος του κομουνιστικού κόμματος κατά τα φοιτητικά του χρόνια. Ο πράκτορας Ντομπς αναλαμβάνει να ελέγξει την υπόθεση και κανονίζει μια φιλική συνάντηση μαζί του. Την επομένη, ο Φέναν βρίσκεται νεκρός, δείχνοντας να έχει αυτοκτονήσει. Παρόλο που βρέθηκε ένα σημείωμα δίπλα του, ο Ντομπς δεν πείθεται και αναλαμβάνει, παρά την αντίθεση των ανωτέρων του, να διαλευκάνει την υπόθεση. After security officer Charles Dobbs has a friendly chat with Samuel Fennan from the Foreign Office, the man commits suicide. An anonymous typed letter had been received accusing Fennan of being a Communist during his days at Oxford and their chat while walking in the park was quite amiable. Senior officials want the whole thing swept under the rug and are pleased to leave it as a suicide. Dobbs isn't sure as there are a number of anomalies that simply can't be explained away. Dobbs is also having trouble at home: his beloved wife keeps having affairs. He's also pleased to see an old friend, Dieter Frey, whom he recruited after the war. With the assistance of a colleague and a retired policeman, Dobbs tries to piece together just who is the spy and who assassinated Fennan.
