Quiller

You are a secret agent working for the British in Berlin. You are due to go home on leave, but you are being followed. A man meets you in the theater and briefs you on a plot to revive the power of Nazi Germany. The next day you make contact with a beautiful girl who may know something. Someone tries to kill both of you. You are Quiller, spy extraordinaire.

Summoned late at night to the Bureau, Quiller attends a secret conference with the foreign secretary and a surprise defector: the Chinese ambassador to Britain. Minutes later, shots ring out and the ambassador's body is flung out onto the sidewalk of a deserted London street, riddled with bullets. Searching for clues, Quiller flies to Calcutta to meet Sojourner, a key ally in the plan to bring democracy to China. But Sojourner is killed—thus, two men, both dedicated to bringing freedom to their country, are dead. No wonder Quiller is skeptical about his next mission: to smuggle a Chinese dissident into Tibet.

Never have Quiller's survival skills been so crucial as in the eerily prophetic mission code-named “Solitaire.” When the body of the agent he was supposed to protect is discovered in the burnt wreck of a car, Quiller must unveil the truth behind rumors of a bomb threat somewhere in Europe. Posing as an international arms dealer, he infiltrates Nemesis, a group of deeply religious Euro-terrorist fanatics who follow a psychopathic and extremely intelligent leader. Quiller's final meeting with Nemesis transpires on Pan Am Flight 905, which carries 20,000 pounds of explosives and forty cylinders of nerve gas—and has disappeared from the radar screens. Quiller alone must stop the plane and its suicidal terrorist crew from reaching their unknown destination.

In this adventure in the series, eponymous agent Quiller is sent to Cambodia, where there is fear that the murderous Communist party known as the Khmer Rouge will fight to return to power. His only ally is a sexy photojournalist who is waging her own personal war against the Khmer Rouge.
