A highly, highly original character drives this dark, London thriller. It's shades of "La Femme Nikita" as a young class warrior is turned/blackmailed by a government agency into helping them find the people who are responsible for the bombings that are plaguing London (one of which killed his New Age girlfriend). In order to don his disguise as foreign exchange broker, he has to shave his dreadlocks, vacate his houseboat and move into a posh flat with a dishy "minder." There is constant tension, both sexual and criminal as the plot develops. I won't suggest the ending, but it is a corker, and entirely dark.
