Another secret agent with an unexplained surplus is murdered, and Helm figures he better work out who his "benefactor" is before he becomes the next target.

It was a double mission this time. Firstly, to terminate a top-notch enemy agent. Secondly, to locate the missing fiancee of a Texas oil millionaire, lost in the Bermuda Triangle.

Matt Helm was aware of Bultman - a legendary assassin, the leader of a group of fanatical revolutionaries, an ambitious criminal - but he had no business with taking him down. Until now.

When the big man in Washington assigned Matt Helm to ride shotgun on a top secret mission in Norway, Helm wanted to know why. But this was a need-to-know deal, at least until his partner-a woman posing as his mistress-was killed. Now Helm was mad, mad enough to blow the operation sky high.

This time Mac has gone too far. For Helm to impersonate a Communist courier to whom he bears no resemblance is suicide, and that isn't all.

On a lonely heath in northern Scotland they recovered the body of the third agent sent to complete a tricky mission. He had died from bubonic plague.

In order to foil a mass assassination plot, Matt Helm must undertake his most dangerous mission: matrimony. An agent like Helm might be a nice man to live with for a while, be he's not the kind a woman would marry. Unless she has too. Unless it's all part of maintaining an ingenious cover.
