The Death's Head Conspiracy by Robert Colby

The deathmaker was a small device, no larger than a heart patient's pacemaker. But it had the power to kill millions.

Star Edition

Knox Warnow, ex-U.S. atomic scientist, knew this. He had the device implanted in his chest. He also knew that if his heart stopped beating, the bombs that he had planted across America would automatically explode. New York, Chicago, Washington, San Fransisco, and L.A. would be wiped off the face of the world. 

Tandem Edition

Nick Carter did not know, and his assignment was to assassinate Warnow. By the time Nick discovered Warnow's deadly secret, it was going to be too late.
