First sentence: The steamer, Sestri Levante, stood high above the dockside, and watery sleet, carried on the wind blustering down from the Black Sea, had drenched even the small shelter deck.
Description: **Pawn in a game of violence**

By most standards, including his own, Graham was an ordinary man, a quiet, inoffensive sort. 

Then one night in Istanbul a bullet tore a sliver of skin from the back of his right hand.

He learned the next day that the bullet had been meant for his heart, and had been dispatched by a little man in a crumpled brown suit who was determided that he should never reach England alive.
