E. Howard Hunt, Watergate conspirator and CIA agent, wrote many excellent hardboiled crime and spy novels. As David St John he wrote Diabolus in 1971. A hugely enjoyable lurid occult/spy thriller featuring drugs, satanic cults and sex orgies.

The Towers of Silence (1966), the second Peter Ward spy novel by E. Howard Hunt (of Watergate fame).

Peter Ward is investigating the death of a CIA agent in India.

Ward is a realistic kind of spy who relies on tradecraft rather than instinct. He's a hard-headed professional, ruthless, unromantic.

A good spy thriller.
