Hazardous Duty is a gripping Cold War espionage thriller by David St. John — the pen name of E. Howard Hunt, a former CIA officer who drew on his own clandestine experience to craft authentically tense narratives. The novel follows Peter Ward, a seasoned CIA operative thrust into a dangerous assignment that takes him across treacherous international terrain, where betrayal and deception lurk at every turn. Written with the insider authority of a genuine intelligence professional, the story presents a world of double agents, covert operations, and high-stakes political intrigue with remarkable verisimilitude. Taut, fast-paced, and relentlessly suspenseful, it stands as a fine example of mid-twentieth-century spy fiction at its most compelling.
