From AudioFile:

A missing silver Bible and a secret document signed by Mao Tse-tung and Lord Mountbatten extending the Hong Kong Treaty lead the British Secret Service and the Mafia on a race to the Scottish Highlands. Macnee gives a sparkling performance as he gives life to each of the story's characters. His accents, Scottish, Irish, Italian and English, are superb. And his rich voice adds to the performance as this adventure weaves a web of excitement and danger right down to the very last scene. D.L.V.
