About this listen

The second installment in the legendary Matt Helm thrillers.

Matt Helm, code name Eric, has been recently reactivated as an operative for a secret American government organization after 15 years as a sedentary photographer and family man in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In his first assignment after returning to the service, he is sent to Sweden to eliminate Caselius, a long-time enemy agent. In order to do so, he must leave a trail of bodies in his wake.

Originally released in the era of the James Bond novels, the Matt Helm novels were considered grittier and more realistic than Bond, garnering them critical praise and an ardent audience.

Surprisingly touching and nostalgic

SPOILER/CW: death of romantic partner

This 2nd in the Matt Helm series takes our guy to Sweden and places him squarely in the middle of some Cold War espionage stuff. He is shown to have a softer, more reflective side, while still being on target for the job. There’s a few beautiful girls along the way; you can imagine the rest.
