U.S. super-spy Sam Durrell is off to Pakistan to tangle with various villains in Assignment Karachi, part of the long and enjoyable spy series by Edward S. Aarons.
This entry, from 1962, is of note for the presentation of a very different Middle East than we see today, with a totally different political and cultural landscape.
Otherwise I found it to be a serviceable entry in the series (I have yet to find one that truly lays an egg, and I've read a lot of these). A slam-bang ending in the high mountains against various forces is a high point.
Readers can jump in anywhere in this solid and underrated spy series, and they are worth a look. I have a big stack of these I got from ebay a long while back that I have chewed through at my leisure.
