Murder from the East

"Murder from the East" is a book that has a bit of everything: international intrigue, the menace of terrorisms, beautiful adventuresses, and a very tough guy private eye, Race Williams, the first in the hard-boiled mode and the model for all those that would follow. The plot, a foreign entity infiltrating the United States, that establishes local groups to operate from, terrorizes the population with senseless cruel murders, and kidnaps Government employees to gain access to secret information, is modern, one could say, contemporary.
