Hand-picked for his talents by Mostyn, the suave, sadistic
Second-in-Command of British Special Security, Boysie Oakes's job is to
quietly murder potential Top Secret security risks. But is Boysie the
right man for the job? On the surface, he has all the right
qualifications. And yet, behind that smooth surface, there are some
strange discrepancies. Things begin to go wrong for Boysie when he takes
Mostyn's secretary to the Cote d'Azur for a naughty weekend. What
starts as a few days of seduction in the Mediterranean sun turns into a
nightmare for Boysie as he becomes more and more embroiled in Operation
Coronet.

I like that second cover; it's powerful without being overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that there was a Boysie Oakes movie. Got to see that someday.
