The Devastaters by Donald Hamilton review

First published in 1965, this is the ninth in the Matt Helm series. This story takes Helm to England and Scotland, an interesting background for the events taking place.


A body is found in Scotland, and the cause of death is bumonic plague.  The victim is an agent, and is the third agent to be found dead.  Helm is sent to find the scientist causing the deaths.  There is a lot of exciting events, and interesting characters, including a reunion of sorts for Helm.

Enjoyable story, but then, I usually enjoy reading Matt Helm novels. 


This is # 31 of 48 for my 2015 Mt. TBR reading challenge. Bought June 8, 2014, read June 28, 2015.
