SUDDEN OF THE C.I.A.

By Lawrence De Maria

Cole Sudden is an ace assassin for a secret C.I.A. unit that is shunned -- and feared -- by others in the Agency. The unit charges mobsters to eliminate turncaiots. The Agency looks the other way, as long as the money keeps flowing in. But when Sudden kills the wrong man, he becomes a target of the mobster who hired him.
