The department is concerned about professional assassin and counter-agent Matt Helm. Having been given a distasteful assignment - assaulting a fellow agent in order to establish her cover in an top-secret operation - the woman is now dead. Alone in Chesapeake Bay, and pursued by his own government, Helm must complete the dead agent's assignment and assassinate an enemy operative. Unless his employers get to him first...
"Actually my 1993 novel, Without Remorse was written as a homage to Matt Helm, but with a Navy SEAL in the main role." - Tom Clancy
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 a Russian missile smuggled out of Cuba falls into the hands of a political fanatic much too close to home.
