COMINSEC is the Committee for International Security and they have five members, General G (from Germany), General J (from Japan, General A (from America), General B (from Britain), General F (from France) and operate as an international court with a large intellegence network and an enforcement arm of nine agents.The lead agent is Taggart, a former Mafia hitman, who now works for COMINSEC. Imagine if the Butcher went to work for a slightly more internation version of CURE (from the Destroyer series) and you get an idea of this series.
Anyway COMINSEC discovers that the Attaturk Society, the Turkish mafia, have in collaboration with certain political *cough, communist, cough* agitators have launched a plan to flood the Western world with drugs and have also stolen the prototype of a new electronic drug detector.
Taggart is sent to recover or destroy the prototype and to eliminate the top man of the Attaturk brotherhood. First he has to go undercover in jail to get a lead on the mysterious head of the brotherhood. In jail Taggart kills at least five men and seriously injures several more. He then gets the lead he needs and leaves the prison.
After a couple more killings Taggart makes his way to Turkey were he succeeds in his mission.
Agent for COMINSEC is a good solid example of the aggressor genre.
ralph hayes wrote a lot of the nick carter novels...I recently read The Satan Stone (a Mark Stoner adventure) and it was a very nice read...definitely a wonderful writer.
