Subterfuge - Mark Hamilton Intelligence Agent Howell Hurst

Mark Hamilton's wife and unborn child have been murdered as he begins his pursuit of an international crime syndicate's leader. Reporting via channels directly to the U. S. President, Hamilton is able to use U. S. military material in his job. This includes a nuclear refitted World War American submarine. The crime sydicate's collaboration with corrupt international political figures has made it a fearsome adversary for Hamilton. But, he is a ruthless operator in his pursuit of criminals compromising the integrity of the United States.

Another side story emerges during this tale's telling: a new love affair for Hamilton that at books' end promises him the hope of a better future. Although his job as a sometimes assassin may be low on the normal moral scale, he finds justification for his unique talent as an unlikely, but committed, patriot.
