3.0
This is a mostly entertaining and reasonably realistic feeling espionage novel with newly returned to duty operative Matt Helm flying off to Sweden to track down a bad guy and take him out. It’s suitably twisty turny and and has some decent action and dialogue. Unfortunately it’s also unpleasantly misogynistic, with hero Helm beating a raping a female character at one point to bring her into line.
