4.0

Matt Helm is back in action. After carrying out assassination in South America he accidentally crosses paths with a person from the past - ex-Nazi general doing some shadowy work with the pro-communist rebels. After losing their leader rebels start disintegrating but presence of high ranking Nazi general is something completely unexpected and possibly situation that can have very serious effect on the security of the US.
Further investigation reveals ex-Nazi identity and his involvement with the war-crimes during WW2. But what was he doing with the rebels?

Puzzled by this chance encounter Helm's agency sends him to northern parts of Mexico to figure out what exactly is going on and dispose of the said Nazi war-criminal.

As one can expect from Matt Helm adventure, story is fast-paced and Matt Helm is no-nonsense as usual. Man I like his approach to world and life.
Also interesting is the way author shows scars that undercover work leaves on the agents.

Highly recommended to all fans of action and thriller.
