The List by James Fritzhand

The List by James Fritzhand

Every American intelligence agent in the Orient was on the list.

Each a target for assassination.

Unless Nick Carter Killmaster could get the list first!

Universal Edition

A trail of blood.

Flying to Hong Kong to purchase a microfilmed list of U.S. intelligence agents more important than twenty nuclear secrets. Nick Carter found the seller dead, the film vanished, and an international squad of killers waiting for him. Nick had one lead. A lead that would take him from the elegant museum world of Hong Kong to an abandoned temple where instant death was the new religion, and the rites performed by an evil high priestess of killing!

George Gross cover

An AXE obituary column

Bret Rawlings: Agent N-6, sent to Hong Kong to purchase the microfilm. Dead of a phoney OD.

Poy Chu: Chinese double agent. He had the microfilm to sell. But now he is dead.

Wai Tsang: Poy Chu's underground contact who tried to make the deal with Nick. He was dead before he could open his mouth.

Tou Wan: Women whose name was scrawled on the back of Poy Chu's museum ticket. She had the film in her possession. Trouble was she had been dead for 2,000 years!

The 100th Nick Carter "Killmaster" Espionage Adventure

The fate of Asia depends on a billion dollars in diamonds delivered to a vicious killer high in the Himalayas

Only Nick Carter could do it!

Allan Wingate Hardcover Edition

How do you smuggle a billion dollars in uncut diamonds from Amsterdam to Nepal, use the diamonds to pay off a kidnap demand, steal them back, then smuggle them out again?

Charter Reprint

Simple.

1. After you buy the diamonds, make sure you roll out of the way when a killer pushed you in front of a speeding train.
2. Take the diamonds out of your hotel safe before it blows up taking half the lobby with it.
3. Hide them on your persons in a spot where even the amazingly thorough Dutch customs won't find them.
4. Keep the stones with you at all times, even when the cab you are taking to the airport is forced into a canal and you have to crawl out and swim.

You do all these and getting the diamonds into Katmandu and out again. 

It is the only way to keep the Red Chinese out of India!

Tandem Edition

The Language Of Death

Sherpa: A band of revolutionaries, professional to the last man. They knew all the modern techniques of terror and were inventing a few new ones.

Kanti: Self-styled spirit of the revolution, as beautiful as she was deadly. Her lethal Kung-Fu hands were more than matched by the lethal scheme of her brain.

Kunwar: A killer in any language, but Kunwar could run like a jungle cat and kill as quickly and viciously.

Bal Narayan: International playboy and member of the Royal Family. He was the kind of man who would sell anything, and anybody, for personal gain.

Award Edition

The place was Nepal. The time was now. It was not the first time Nick had to learn a new language of death. But this time the fate of Asia depending on his learning it right!
