Assignment Maltese Maiden
Edward S. Aarons
Copyright 1972 by Fawcett Publications, Inc.
Published by Fawcett Gold Medal Books, November 1972

Paperback
Twice before Sam had crossed the infamous Madame Hung. Each time he had endured agony, escaping at the final moment. Last time he had finished her off -- he thought. But apparently she was like the cat with nine lives -- and now she had kidnapped his boss, General McFee.
And without McFee the heart, the core, the brain of K section was gone.
The man who held all the top-secret, confidential, intelligence items locked in his cool, calculating, and impersonal mind was gone.
It was a crisis, a full-scale world crisis. It was also bait ... to get Sam Durell.
