The Judas Hour — E. Howard Hunt

Her warm, passionate eyes and soft, giving body hid an evil and treacherous mind.He had to destroy this evil woman. This woman he had once wanted with an animal passion. She brought him back from a living death, rescued him from degredation. But that had been no act of kindness and love. It had been, instead, part of a deliberate and fiendish plan. For now she felt that she owned him, that his life was hers. And she would use him as a piece of machinery, to be discarded on the junk heap the minute his usefulness was over. Yes, he'd been allowed to live... only so he could die.ABOUT THE AUTHORHoward Hunt aka E. Howard Hunt is best known for his role in the Watergate scandal rather than for his great crime novels. Gore Vidal wrote this about Robert Dietrich, one of Hunt's many pseudonyms, in The New York Times: In 1957, H.H. gave birth to 'Robert Dietrich.' who specialized in thrillers, featuring Steve Bentley, formerly of the CID and now a tax consultant. H.H. plainly enjoys composing plausible (and implausible) biographies for his characters-not to mention for himself. In Contemporary Authors, H.H. composed a bio for his pseudonym Robert Dietrich, taking ten years off his age, putting himself in the infantry during Korea, awarding himself a Bronze Star and a degree from Georgetown.
