Graham Collier calls at a boarding house at 28 Nadine Gardens asking for a 'Mr. Shapiro.' But the lady of the house says that
he must have the wrong number - all his lodgers are regulars but there was no one by that name. Collier has a package for
him. As he leaves the lady asks him that if she ever comes across Mr. Shapiro, where can he be reached. He say to reach
him at the Euphradis Hotel up until the following day. After that he's back up north so Mr. Shapiro can stuff it.

It just so happens that 28 Nadine Gardens is a British safehouse though 'Mr. Shapiro' is a password, up until two months ago,
for their Berlin safehouse.

Carter of British Intelligence tries to find out what Collier is doing going to a safehouse using an old password from another
distict. He calls Toby Lizmore back from holidays to call on this 'mark' and ask him all the questions he's so good at asking.
He finds out that Collier got this package in a German bar from a gentlemen who's name he didn't ask for.

The package contains film of highly sensitive political documents from East Germany though the final picture is double
exposed with a man's face.

Carter asks Toby to help him to find out who is in that 'mug' shot and why.
