Synopsis

The name on the computer screen is James Barbour Matlock, college professor and Vietnam veteran. He’s Washington’s choice to stop a far-reaching conspiracy in an undercover assignment destined to put his neck against the razor’s edge of danger. But the faceless men behind the scenes don’t care if it means savaging the woman he loves or trapping him in a maze of unrelenting terror. They just care about one thing: Matlock is the perfect man for the job—and the reason why is disturbing, explosive, and extremely deadly.

Goodreads review by Anthony

It started slow but it's definitely a Ludlum. & from the 70s 😊 The main character was realistic, even when out of his element. I enjoy reading action packed books from Robert Ludlum. It's crazy how everything balances out too. Like its sad that he was kinda racist, while being one of the best authors......more

Goodreads review by Aidil

I loved it! The plot twist was marvelous. I liked how an innocent college campus can actually be a network for drugs and prostitution. It isn't quite as fast paced as I thought it would be but it does have a certain elegance and intrigued to it.......more

A good Ludlum, hitting on a painful social issue--drugs pushing on college campuses. Lovely plot twists, thrilling cliff-hangers, but the ending got so convoluted that the star count went down. Nice beach read.......more

Goodreads review by Barry

Awful! One of the worst books I've ever wasted my time finishing! The plot was good which is why I gave it two stars. But, the writing wasn't even worthy of a high school freshman! I've read other stories by Ludlum that are light years better then this, so I'm forced to assume someone else wrote it......more
