Publisher's Synopsis
A high-level diplomat, about to assume a vital posting at the United Nations, is being blackmailed. But if he goes to the police and prosecutes, his career will be finished. Even though the press can only report him as Mr. X, his well-known face will be clearly revealed to everyone in court. So Government special agent Mike Hammond is given his orders: 'Winkle this blackmailer out, and he's all yours. You're judge, jury - and executioner.'
