ASSIGNMENT TO KILL

“Poor Dominique...she was always in hot water. Now she was in over her head - in the middle of a $15,000,000 international conspiracy. Richard Cutting's dead girl friend triggers this assignment to kill.”

A private eye is hired by an insurance company to investigate a shipping magnate suspected of deliberately sinking his own ships for the insurance money. He finds himself involved in a web of deception, double-crossing and murder.
