Publisher's Summary:
Drake had the assignment. He was sent to steal confidential files of the Mafia that had been stashed somewhere in a bank vault on an island in the Bahamas.
Drake got the files. He also got himself trapped into a deadly private war - with the Syndicate, the local police, and a gang of freelance assassins.
The only man who could help him out of the trap was being held incommunicado - behind the thick walls of a Bahamian prison.
Breaking out of jail was something Drake knew about. Breaking in was something else....
Members Reviews:
An Action-Packed Mission in the Bahamas
When it came to men's adventure fiction in the early seventies, the cream of the crop were Marlowe's Earl Drake novels. These are all actionpacked, fast-reading stories. Drake, the man without a face, was originally the most hardboiled of bank robbers, but in busting out of a Florida psych hospital, he arranged for plastic surgery. Later, he met Erickson, who worked for some secret government agency and, in return for Drake's work on secret missions to Cuba and other exotic locales, arrangements had been made for the govt to look the other way at Drake's past. Most of the time he lives on an out of the way ranch in Nevada with Hazel, the big, redheaded Dynamo.
This "Operation" takes place in the Bahamas and, when Erickson, needs someone to break into safe deposit boxes in a bank vault, who better to turn to then Drake. From explosive bank robberies to manhunts on a small island, hoodlums, running gun battles, a killer masseuse, a kinky drug filled party, inefficient government bureaucracy, and a jailbreak, this book is jam packed with action. It has an easy late sixties/ early seventies feel. And there are humorous moments when Drake tries to find the secret agency he contracts with.
Overall, this is another terrific fun read. Once you pick it up, you better not have anything else planned for the night.
