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 says 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 safe house though 'Mr. Shapiro' is a password, up until two months ago, for their Berlin safe house.
Carter of British Intelligence tries to find out what Collier is doing going to a safe house using an old password from another district. 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 gentleman whose 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.
