The Normandy Code

Killmaster #202

by Nick Carter

Nick Carter has been a croupier in a Deauvillle casino on the Normandy coast for two weeks. The reason? To gain access to the French underworld and find out who pulled the Paris heist of a plaster Madonna containing the computer codes of all the Pershing missiles in Western Europe. All Nick Carter "Killmaster N3" has to go on is a matchbook from the casino and a woman's handkerchief. It's a race against time....before the Madonna falls into the wrong hands!
