Long ago he had learned to live alone, hunt alone, depend on himself alone. Now he wasn't alone and he wished he were. For the presence of Georgette Finch, an attractive young woman agent for K Section, complicated the job of recovering a stolen three hundred million in American money. It was hidden somewhere behind the smoke curtain of civil war in Boganda, a newly emerged African nation. Sam figured he was better off without Finch, until he ran into a couple of deadly female pirates who were out to increase their fortune by - you guessed it - three hundred million. And since they had an army, Sam decided he needed all the help he could get. But trusting Finch was a bit more than he counted on.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..

Hungarian refugees were vanishing like smoke - and turning up dead behind the Iron Curtain. The C.I.A. Assigned Sam Durell to stop it - and Stella Marni was his only clue. She was one of the most desirable women Durell had ever seen. She had the kind of cool, unearthly beauty a man would lie, betray, kill for - and follow to the brink of hell. A nation had entrusted Durell with its secrets. He carried a gun to defend them, but against a woman like Stella Marni there was no weapon to keep a man safe. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available.. (more information)

Two autopsy reports pose more questions than answers and as Anderson struggles to untangle the complex relationships of the dysfunctional Allan family, he becomes involved in a dangerous liaison with Pippa Wright, Ralph's attractive PA and ex-mistress. When a second murder occurs Anderson realizes that getting to know Pippa was not such a good idea.
