The Damagers
"Some people are never ready to kill..."
Take a gorgeous companion for a leisurely sail on a beautiful yacht. Sounds like easy duty for Matt Helm⎯except that the last three captains of the yacht died under mysterious circumstances. Matt will tangle with a crew of dangerous women, a terrorist squad, and an elite organization of death-dealing specialists. He had better be ready⎯if he wants to stay alive.
