It's a news wrinkle in murder: A haberdashery clerk suddenly leaves his home in Ohio, flies to Italy, and kills a Red terrorist. Everyone figures the guy's just coming apart at the seams - until it happens again . . . and again . . .

A pattern's emerging, and the international powers are getting hot under the collar. Remo and Chiun are investigating before the U.S. is caught with its pants down. But then Harold W. Smith vanishes, along with the best brains in the world, and all at once CURE's less than a memory . . .

Remo and Chiun follow the thread of evidence to a tropical island and a man with a message - a man with trouble up his sleeve. And, they find it's just a matter of time before he takes the entire world to the cleaner's . . .
