Secret Mission to Bangkok

Secret Mission to Bangkok, first published in 1960, is a Cold War thriller set in Thailand. Colonel Hugh North, the hero of a number of books by author Van Wyck Mason, is on a security mission to shadow a leading rocket scientist who is returning to Bangkok in an attempt to locate his missing wife. The scientist’s importance and intimate knowledge of the U.S. missile program make it imperative that he does not fall into the hands of Soviet spies, already aware of their arrival. Along the way, North encounters beautiful women and some of Bangkok’s kingpins. F. Van Wyck Mason (1901-1978) published more than 60 books in his long career, including Colonel Hugh North thrillers, mysteries and science fiction.
