Plot summary
The eccentric Arthur Loveday decides that having influential financiers murdered is his contribution to world peace. The deaths go on and the ordinary agencies of law enforcement are unable to prevent them, so Her Majesty's Government turns to its leading secret agent, Charles Bind, whose license is to kill. Loveday's killings are carried out through K.R.A.S.H., a body of mercenaries whose name stands for Killing, Rape, Arson, Slaughter and Hit, and Bind has to work his way past them. He carries a pair of Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolvers and, when crowds are involved, a .50 caliber M2 Browning machine gun. Rockwell is his superior in the service.
