Counterfeit

by Hartley Howard

The man who called himself Harry Brogan had had many names in his time. Like a chameleon he changed his appearance, too, according to circumstances and the task he had been given. In the world of espionage it was the only way he could hope to survive. When he learned the nature of his new assignment he wondered how people in the real world would feel if they knew what took place in this twilight region where life and death were passing incidents. Soon Brogan is embroiled in a gigantic conspiracy -- an attempt to destroy our civilization.
