description: A con man named Spike Reilly was dying an agonizing death in a Brussels hotel. Next door the erstwhile sleuth and wanderer Peter Talbot was very much alive. And in a moment of brilliance and madness Peter knew that he could adopt the dying man's identity and use it as his passport into a dangerous ring of thieves.Reborn Spike Reilly Peter followed a trail of coded messages that led first to a well-appointed English manor a house full of well-appointed guests and then to the true identity of Spike's employer: Maud Millicent Simpson England's most deadly woman. After steering him through the theft of a priceless painting Maud then had a second job for Spike: kidnap and kill a beautiful young lady. For Spike Reilly it might have been all in a day's work. But for Peter Talbot it meant playing a role within a role within a role - and somehow coming out alive!
