Donald Hamilton is a spy novel first published in April 1975. It was the sixteenth episode in theMatt Helm series and was the first of the Helm books to portray him, on its cover, as a long-haired, side-burned citizen of the 1970s. This image was subsequently used for reprinted editions of a number of the earlier stories.Plot summary
A longtime friend of Mac, Helm's boss, blames
Big Oil for his wife's tragic death aboard their modest yacht; in retaliation, he wants Helm's secretive, and murderous, agency to make trouble for an international oil company. Mac assigns Helm to get to the bottom of this request — and to "take care of" his friend.External links
