When Matt Helm is dispatched to Los Angeles to investigate the shooting of an agent, it wasn't just an assignment-it was personal. To get the answers he wants means run-ins with two-bit hoods, a trio of beautiful women, a bunch of drug traffickers, and his old friend Mr. Soo, whose government has ideas about polluting America to death.

People are vanishing without a trace. And the disappearances are getting closer to home-the next likely target is Mac, Matt Helm's shrewd old boss. To get to the bottom of the mystery, Helm follows two beguiling and treacherous women, who lead him all the way to his ancestral home-Scandinavia. With a coup from within the agency, and a terrorist threat from without, it's clear that nobody can be trusted.

Professional assassin and counter-agent Matt Helm has been given a distasteful assignment. He is to disguise himself as gangster Jimmy "the Lash" Petroni and assault a fellow agent in order to help establish her cover in a top-secret operation. But now Jean is dead, and Helm must take her place on a dangerous mission. Alone in Chesapeake Bay, pursued by his own government, Helm must carry out an assassination-before his employers catch up to him.

In order to foil a mass assassination plot, Matt Helm must undertake his most dangerous mission yet: matrimony. An agent like Helm might be a nice man to live with for a while, but he's not the kind of guy a woman would marry-unless she has to in order to maintain an ingenious cover. The man whose daily bread is violence takes a most unlikely bride-just to ensure death doesn't part them.

Matt Helm is on vacation in Mexico with nothing on his mind except fishing, when some joker tries to shoot him in the back. Naturally, it was no accident-when secret agents get shot at, it never is. So Helm has to go back to work. At least there's a bonus in the form of his boss's beautiful daughter, a playmate in peril.

A quiet mission of assassination is no sweat for legendary agent Matt Helm-until a shapely foreign agent he never got around to finishing off lures him into a strange trek in the wilds of northern Mexico. And when a Russian missile is smuggled out of Cuba, it falls into the hands of a political fanatic much too close to home.Originally released in the era of the James Bond novels, the Matt Helm novels were considered grittier and more realistic than...

It was not a peaceful way to die, but there was nothing Matt Helm could do for his fellow agent. He had found him in a Canadian motel room, his once-handsome face eaten away, corroded by acid. Scratch one agent. The women wouldn't be lining up for him now. But it created further problems. The most likely culprit was a woman Helm had orders to protect-no matter what the cost.

It was a double mission this time: First, to terminate a top-notch enemy agent. Second, to locate the missing fiancee of a Texas oil millionaire, lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Somehow these two cases were connected, but it wasn't clear how until more high-profile types disappeared. They weren't dead, just part of a deadly little game ...
