Doyle is dying from a gunshot wound, and the Devil offers to let him live if He can have him. Doyle being unconscious, Bodie agrees, and Doyle disappears. Seven years later, Bodie is deputy-controller of CI5, along with Murphy. He meets up with Lucian Sloane, a high powered businessman, about whom there are shady rumours. Sloane is Doyle, but a changed man - conscience less and evil and involved in a scheme to eventually topple the economy. Bodie realises what is going on, but can do nothing as he succumbs to the offer of what he has always wanted - Doyle as a lover. Sloane, unknown to Bodie, plans to control CI5 through him, changing its goals and getting rid of those who would resist. The story ends with a news report that an inquiry has found it was an accident, rather than sabotage, that caused the car carrying Cowley and Murphy to drive into a river, and the findings have been accepted by the new Head of CI5 - Bodie.
I found this offbeat tale very depressing and unsettling. In fact, I wish I'd never read it. I suppose the fact that it evoked such a strong reaction is a compliment to the author, but I would suggest you avoid this one unless desperate. [1]
