T-Man #13

When American officials mysteriously start defecting to Communism after visiting Bulgaria, T-Man Pete Trask is dispatched to the Balkans to uncover how the Kremlin is turning patriotic men into propaganda mouthpieces. Captured and imprisoned in the notorious Black Palace, Trask must survive interrogation and a sinister Soviet scheme while searching for the truth behind the "Mind Assassins"—and his imprisoned contact Jardov.

T-Man Brad Kendall zeros in on the deadly Red Spy Ring "X-781," a ruthless outfit that eliminates any agent who gets close to their operation. When a lead brings Kendall and his fellow operatives Mac Rouchard and Ed Lilke face-to-face with Luvac, the spy chief himself, Kendall sees his opening—but the trap he's set may have a few surprises waiting inside.

When Pete Trask, a resourceful T-Man, arrives in Formosa to investigate how the Reds are obtaining intelligence on Nationalist military movements, he discovers a sinister pattern: a famous singer named Ma-Su-Ke has been performing American songs with altered Chinese lyrics that conceal coded military secrets. Racing against time to uncover the conspiracy before more lives are lost, Trask must separate the innocent from the guilty and expose the real traitor hiding within the Nationalist ranks.

T-Man Pete Trask heads to Rio de Janeiro to investigate a ruthless communist murder ring that's been systematically killing government agents—only to discover the operation runs deeper than expected, involving smugglers who've unwittingly become pawns in a scheme to smuggle Red saboteurs into Brazil. When a double-cross lands Pete aboard a smuggler's vessel at the mercy of his captors, he and his resourceful assistant Terry Gordon must turn the crew's own fear and resentment against their communist overlords to survive the night. With a Red submarine closing in and ammunition running low, Pete makes a desperate gamble that the smugglers' hatred of their tormentors will burn hotter than their greed.
