A citizen dies - and a wartime special agent is reborn, as the girl with the code name of Tina walks into a cocktail party and 15 years of Matt Helm's complacent postwar life slips away. Suddenly the old automatic reactions take over, and Helm is thrust back to the time when he'd been a lethal young animal trained to kill - and she had been his partner...
First in the great Matt Helm series. Excellent introduction to a fabulous series of books.
