The Revengers
It began with a funeral for an old friend that sparked romantic memories Matt Helm wanted to forget--especially since they involved a women he thought was out of his life forever. But when one old flame led to another and a lot of them were getting snuffed, it was hard to stay cool.
Suddenly Matt was hot on a trail that seemed to go nowhere--except back to his past...a past he thought had been buried in Mexico along with a small-time hood and a dirty drug deal...a past filled with women who were now leading him into the ultimate compromising position...
