For more than 40 years, a retired British Army major-general made his home in St. John's, Newfoundland. For all that time, Major General Hugh Tudor shunned photographs and interviews, scrupulously avoided publicity and lived a deliberately quiet life in the shadows - far from his country, his wife and children, and very far indeed from the limelight. But he lived in fear. And he harboured a dark secret. One that would eventually cause an assassin to cross the Atlantic with a mission: to hunt him down.
