Quotes

Detective George Caufield: No white-blond hitman known in the UK. Further, the Chief of Security at the Italian Ambassey tells me di Vallesi has no enemies, probably the least controversial man in Rome. As a matter of fact, even the Pope's a likelier target, satisfied?
Simon Templar: No! Of course I'm not satisfied. I mean, for a start, the hitman's almost certainly an import! And well liked or not, di Vallesi may have a dozen enemies Italian Security knows nothing about.
Detective George Caufield: Di Vallesi will have routine protection from the moment he arrives.
