Book Description
In The Eager Apprentice the target is a foreign prince who is regarded as a reliable friend and ally by a British establishment. Only one lowly person, who will never be believed, knows that he is a terrorist master-mind. Discrete removal is the only option and Nshila is the assassin contacted to handle the situation. She has accepted an apprentice, a keen but erratic young man who makes premature and disastrous attempts to eliminate the target. His activities draw a young lady of great talent into the plot who has recently been ordained into the Church of England and is unscrupulous in her determination to become a Bishop. Nshila finally organizes her team well enough to achieve success and obtain a rather extraordinary reward.
