The story
Henry Faber is a cold, ruthless German sleeper agent nicknamed the "Needle" due to his preference for killing with a stiletto.
With his cover blown, Faber heads to Scotland to rendezvous with a German U-boat.
The only other person on the island is Tom, the elderly, alcoholic lighthouse keeper who operates the island's only two-way radio.
