[Checkman · Rating 2 out of 5]

One of the many novels written by Howard Hunt of Watergate burglary fame. Fairly typical example of the mens adventure novels that were churned out from the fifties to the seventies and it feels rather quaint in 2013. Short and fast moving it's more of a novella and with a little editing would have easily fit as a serial story. A couple surprises, but all in all this is not anything unusual. I read it mainly because it was written by Hunt and ,despite the fact that he was a prolific writer, I've never come across any of his novels before. Curiosity drove me to read it. My curiosity is now satisfied and back it goes to my favorite used bookstore.
