While his son-in-law Brian hardly welcomes the new domestic arrangement, Tommy, having left all his old friends behind, feels particularly lost - until he strikes up an unlikely friendship with twelve-year-old tearaway Charlie Harris.

Retirement has brought a new identity, a new mistress, and a new business in the form of a militaria shop; but he finds that once a secret-service operative, always a secret-service operative when a call summons him to headquarters and a meeting with the fourth Hunter of his career - a past Callan thought dead and buried.
