Re Mark Kurtz's question below:

"All this talk about Helm has got me interested in finding the series of
books. Well, I don't need the whole series per se, but hitting the
highlights would definitely be wonderful. I've made one or two half-assed
attempts to track them down at the local used stores, but no luck so far.
Does anyone have some recs. as to the best Matt Helm books, and a place
online where I can find them? Any help would be much appreciated."

They're all good, but in many ways the first, *Death of a Citizen* is the
best. The character study of a hard-edged killer who tried to become a
Ward Cleaver type of guy when his lethal skills were no longer needed was
very compelling. - Jim Doherty
