Treachery in Trieste

JACKET NOTES:  On an assignment that had brought death to every other secret agent, Paul Kilgerrin went to Trieste. Guns and ammunition were being smuggles into that internationally contested city. And somewhere among the tangles desperate maze of Titoist partisans, Communist rioters, and Fascist bands was the underground group responsible. There seemed no other way to get at them save to set a trap with himself as bait--and that's what Kilgerrin did!
As timely as today's crisis headlines, this novel reveals the dagger behind the cloak. It's a seething adventure story of men and women caught in the currents of conflicting passions.
