Tough cold war spy out for revenge on the job. Younger readers of the 21st century might find Spillane's writing sexist and opinionated, but that makes it fascinating. I had trouble keeping track of some of the minor characters, and was leaning toward 3.5 - 4 stars, but it gets so good nearer the end I'm rating it 5 stars.
