Matt Helm is on vacation in Mexico with nothing on his mind except fishing when some joker tries to shoot him in the back. Naturally, it was no accident - when secret agents get shot at, it never is. So Helm has to go back to work. At least there's a bonus in the form of his boss' beautiful daughter, a playmate in peril.

When Matt Helm is dispatched to Los Angeles to investigate the shooting of an agent, it wasn't just an assignment - it was personal.

Das Thriller-Debüt von Thomas Herzsprung, der als Tommy Herzsprung den LovelyBooks Leserpreis 2019 und Skoutz-Award 2018 gewonnen hat. Er will dir helfen? Dann renn um dein Leben! Die Morgendämmerung taucht den See im Stadtwald in ein unwirkliches Licht. Am Ufer liegt eine tote junge Frau. Bis auf ein Leinentuch um die Hüften ist sie nackt. Wohl platzierte Schnitte ziehen sich entlang der Venen über Arme und Beine. Ihr Mund ist eine blutige, zahnlose Höhle, der Schädel kahl rasiert.

Far out in the Pacific, among the sunny islands of Hawaii, a dark, venomous plot is engineered by a rogue agent, an angel-faced man called the Monk, who has a special fondness for high explosives.

But first Helm has to trust the beautiful stranger who claims to be his sister-in-law and insists that his former "wife" had just willed him half a million dollars.

Matt Helm is unexpectedly rich, and he doesn’t like it. Twenty thousand mysterious dollars appear in his bank account, but this is no time for celebration. 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.

On a bleak and lonely heath in northern Scotland, the body of an agent sent to complete a tricky mission is recovered. He had died of bubonic plague. It's up to Matt Helm to take it from there.

James left Alex one last scoop: a 50-year-old hard drive that may contain a secret worth killing for...and the name of the one person who can help him access the data.
