The Medusa Kiss by Michael Woodman

Sent to Thailand to infiltrate a female crime lord's estate to retrieve a document, Paul soon learns of a plan to destroy the US by flooding it with free drugs.


Kiss Medusa ... and die!
For Medusa is a double agent, the deadliest operative in the Far East.
And the loveliest ... a sleek package of sudden death as willing to kill as she is to make love.
Paul Gane finds out. The hard way. Assigned to infiltrate Medusa's narcotics ring, he finds himself caught in her murderous web ... the middleman in a vicious cross-fire of intrigue and counter-stroke.
