A diary found after a burglary to a French Restaurant in Notting Hill. The owner of the diary, an SS Major Eric Von Stroder, was a wanted war criminal. The diary told how he found the Mona Lisa hidden in the Archives of the Louvre Museum, at the end of the war. He brought in a Jewish Forger to copy the painting. He then placed the forgery in the archives where he found the real one, and headed for South America. Twenty years later MI6 agent Nicholas Steel follows the trail to Brazil. After helping the American CIA to smash a drugs cartel, he finds the painting. At the same time the French are holding a gun to the head of the British Government, over trade sanctions. The Prime Minister threatens to exhibit the painting in the British Museum. The French relent on the trade deal, but there is a twist in the tale.
Four young Catholic boys, brought up during the turmoil of the troubles in Belfast. They called themselves the four Musketeers. Their leader Paddy O Brien would see his whole family massacred in a Protestant raid. He was then crippled in a gang fi ght at the age of fourteen. His friends came to see him in hospital, where they swore a blood oath to strike a blow against the British, when they grew up. It would be the last time they would be together they thought. Dermot Tobin the brains of the outfi t, would go to University in England, and end up on the Royal Staff. Sean O Tool and his family would immigrate to Australia, where there was work for his father. James Mc Shane would end up working in the Construction Industry, as a labourer. At the age of eighteen, Paddy O Brien joined the IRA, but was soon disillusioned. He had hoped to be killing British Soldiers from day one. Being a cripple the only thing they would let him do, was to take the bucket around the bars, collecting money for the cause. That was soon to change when the four Musketeers came back together.
