When T-Man Pete Trask is urgently recalled from a fishing trip to Iran, he discovers that someone has been impersonating him—sabotaging a crucial oil treaty by insulting diplomats and turning them toward the Soviets. Racing to uncover the impostor before world peace crumbles, Trask must navigate a web of espionage, double-crosses, and one very confused woman who keeps slapping the wrong man. With Soviet agents closing in and his doppelgänger still loose, Trask has to think fast to expose the real villain behind this dangerous game of mistaken identity.

After weeks of false meetings and careful surveillance, Polcuch arranges what should be the big score—138 cans of opium to be delivered at Woodbine Check—but the smugglers spring a deadly ambush that erupts into a fierce firefight under cover of darkness. A tense night of gunfire and strategy unfolds as Polcuch and his fellow customs agents fight to bring down the operation.
