The By-Pass Control — Mickey Spillane

One day a scientist decided to play God. He made a small improvisation in the US Intercontinental Ballistics Missile system. A slight change that made it possible to push a button -- and wipe America off the map. Then he disappeared.

Tiger Mann's got the toughest job of his career. He's got to find the scientist before the Russians do. Tiger kills an enemy master-spy and invades the lair of the spider-woman -- a femme with a steel-trap mind and an ever-lovin' body. It's a wild and violent chase that winds up on a lonely North Carolina beach in a savage death duel between Tiger and Spillane's most diabolical villain.
