Harry is recruited into the murky world of spying by Andrew Osnard. Osnard is at first a seducer, but it does not take long before the seduction takes on a more sinister turn, Osnard knows more about Harry, than Harry would like. Harry's money problems are large, he has a mistress, plus that little issue with the British justice system, these all add up to a lot of potential misery for someone well respected in Panama.
Harry becomes the 'ear' for the security services, and he gives them the best gossip. Gossip beyond their wildest dreams. Is Harry naughty or nice though, that is the question?
