Blood Sports

Synopsis: Whilst playing in an England v South America polo match, the son of a South American President is shot and killed. CI5 are called in to find the killer, and to protect his step-sister Anita who, as a student in London, is another possible target. Bodie and Doyle trace the getaway car used by the killer, and find a partial fingerprint of ex-con on the engine when he was tuning it. They start tailing the mechanic, but he is assasinated from a passing vehicle. While Doyle searches for the new vehicle and then entertains Anita to lunch, Bodie is bugging her flat. He discovers that she as a French lover, Pepe. Unfortunately, Pepe turns out to be a terrorist sympathiser called Rene. Anita is furious when she discovers that she had been bugged, and is shocked to discover Pepe's true identity. However, she agrees to the use of a trap for the killers; using herself and Capain Hidalgo (her country's chief of secutity) as bait at a golf course.
John's notes: ** Maybe a new copy required: tracking is iffy.
