Louis Garbo fled the Middle East with a bounty on his head because of his identity and sniping operations were known. The shadow government operation he'd worked for gave him a new identity and a sequestered lifestyle. After two years, he was suddenly called upon to do another hit on Mustique Island. The target was a Saudi prince and Garbo's secret arrival on Mustique was arranged. He had to survey the island in stealth mode to find a suitable site for his one shot and to acquire the sustaining water and food needed. When the shot was made, survival would be dependent on his wit, as no aid was possible in the secret operation. Saudi security patrols and island police would be covering the island in a search for the sniper. Beatrice, the lovely romantic, was ordered to assist in his preparation, disobeyed orders. She follows Garbo to Mustique in an attempt to help if the hit was made. A chance romance creates a break in the tale while Garbo silently tries to avoid capture and escape the island.
