Death of a Citizen (1960)

A citizen dies -- and a war time special agent is reborn, as the girl with the code name of Tina walks into a cocktail party and 15 years of Matt Helm's complacent post-war life slips away. Suddenly the old automatic r eactions take over and Helm is thrust back to the time when he'd been a lethal young animal trained to kill -- and she had been his partner.

"This series by Donald Hamilton is the top-ranking American secret agent fare, with its intelligent protagonist and an author who consistently writes with high style."

-- Book Week

"A harsh and sometimes shocking story, told with restraint, power and conviction."

--The New York Sunday Times
