Matt Helm is on vacation in Mexico with nothing on his mind except fishing when some joker tries to shoot him in the back. Naturally, it was no accident - when secret agents get shot at, it never is.

So Helm has to go back to work. At least there's a bonus in the form of his boss' beautiful daughter, a playmate in peril.

A top-notch Helm adventure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Fans of the Matt Helm series will certainly want to acquire this slick, polished, fast-paced and very readable entry, in which Helm's own organisation is under threat. So the stakes are even higher than usual. And his female associate this time is none other than his boss's beautiful daughter! But can she (or anyone else) really be trusted?

This would make a great film, with an exciting climactic boat chase that comes to an unexpected conclusion. Unexpected, that is, if you are unfamiliar with Mr. Helm's way of getting the job done no matter what drastic steps need to be taken...

One of the better ones

Reading the Matt Helm series in chronological order allows one to judge each book individually as well as how if fits as a member of the group. I enjoyed this book more than most of the others because there were a lot of unexpected twists and turns. It was worth the time spent.

What is Mac's Real Identity? Find Out Here

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

In this installment of Matt Helm's adventures, he is precipitated into his usual partnership with a provocative woman - but this time she is the daughter of his boss, Mac! This brings about some brand new intriguing(!) information about Mac's personal life. Tangled up in this is a puzzle within a puzzle and a truly scary climax in the Florida Everglades. I doubt that this story will promote tourism in that region!

Nothing can ever be the same again

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2015

In all the spy fiction of the 60's, 70's and 80's, there was nobody like Matt Helm. "Hold your hands up or I'll shoot" was pure sentimental nonsense to Helm. If he needed to shoot, he'd shoot, hands up or down. If he didn't need to shoot, he wouldn't, and would skip the empty threats. The boss would have it no other way. So the character developed, until this one. The one that brought Helm into direct contact with the boss's family. Would he still act under the same imperatives? Would the boss have the same zeal for pure action, regardless of the consequences? All I can say is "Nothing can ever be the same again."

Before there was a Jason Bourne...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2015

Before Jason Bourne there was Matt Helm, Donald Hamilton's U.S. Government assassin. Mac's nameless organization had a mission: hunt down foreign assassins targeting American citizens. Donald Hamilton was the master of the first person point of view. These novels are easy reading—I read “the Intriguers” in under three hours.

“The Intriguers” is the fourteenth of twenty-seven Matt Helm novels, published in 1972. To give his novels realism, Donald Hamilton wove current events into each story. A campus shooting much like the Jackson State of 15 May 1970—and a serial killer targeting police—are one of the subplots. Other things that occurred were consolidations of diverse American intelligence organizations. Themes such as “women's liberation” and anti-hunting activists, excessive police force, nepotism, political 'dirty pool' – the usual. As a snapshot of America during the early Seventies, “The Intriguers” is quite a history lesson—written before Watergate became public knowledge. Some themes are constant in American history. The end of the world is always at hand...always!

The main story line begins with someone sending a 7mm Remington Magnum pink slip to Agent Eric, aka Matthew L. Helm. A young woman with counter-culture leanings gets in touch with Matt and gives him a list—and coded instructions. The action takes place from Baja California to the Florida Everglades. It seems as if everybody is out for vengeance—but Matt Helm always gets his girl!

Another device Donald Hamilton uses is returning characters from previous novels—sometimes retiring them permanently. A bureaucrat named Herbert Leonard returns to stir up trouble as he seeks fame and glory. Recurring characters are Matt's boss, Mac, and he starts out the novel in the company of a woman from “The Poisoners,” the previous Matt Helm novel.

I enjoy re-reading Donald Hamilton's spy stories and I am happy that Titan Books is reprinting them. My old copies are falling apart!
