Mission to Venice

JACKET NOTES:  ADRIATIC ADVENTURE - The lost U.S. H-bomb was the lure for blackmail. Thousands of lives and America's international prestige were riding on Killmaster's mission to Venice and in the bloodiest battle of his career he had no one to help him except a notorious continental courtesan--if she lived song enough.
Vanni Manfrinto, the head of Yugoslav Intelligence was a hunted man who took few chances. But a woman possessed of the beauty and morals of the Princess de Verizone would be allowed to penetrate his heavy guard in deference in his insatiable lust; for Vanni Manfrinto enjoyed a satyr's sexual appetites. But there was more to Manfrinto than lust-as Nick Carter discovered in a harrowing encounter on the skeleton-ridden Isle of the Dead, as he stalked his prey from one open grave to another.
Nothing in his training or career had prepared Killmaster for the ultimate carnage he was forced to inflict in order to prevent the bomb from fulfilling its own destructive destiny.
