Matlock, un profesor de universidad al que no le gustan algunas cosas de su entorno, es involucrado a vuluntad propia en una red de delincuencia, la que le absorbe hasta sus entrañas, todo parece muy simple, pero nada es tan simple.

Re-reading some of my old Ludlum's. Not a bad story at all, but not one of his best either. Another problem with Ludlum is just how dated some of them are, but that also means that there is some decent zeitgeist to be had. This one reminds the reader of campus unrest and a proliferating drug culture. The conspiracy is almost laughable, though, for anyone familiar with academia. (

One of Ludlum's early books. Kind of sketchy in getting a college professor to go against a drug smuggling ring, but it does have some interesting parts. If you can get past the plot, this can be an enjoyable read. Ludlum is not at his best in this book. It seems he was still learning the craft that would make him a pile of money once it was refined a bit in the Bourne trilogy. (

Written in 1973 The Matlock Paper is a crime thriller about an investigation into a drugs and crime racket on university campuses in 1970s America. The main character is ruthlessly chosen by the Justice Department in the knowledge he may very well end up dead - the greater good and all that.

It's a pretty decent mystery as to who is the man behind the criminal organisation, you have your suspicions, yet the ending is still good.

Overall, a dated but not bad early Ludlum novel. (

James Barbour Matlock is a Vietnam veteran and college professor - but now the US government have an assignment for him. They want him to investigate what seems to be a large-scale dope and prostitution business; and they'll go to any lengths to find the answers they need. cares for most are under threat. Would he have accepted the job if he'd known just what it would mean? the perfect man for the job - for a reason that is deadly, violent and extremely disturbing...

Loring walked out the side entrance of the Justice Department and looked for a taxi. It was nearly first thirty, a spring Friday, and the congestion in the Washington streets was awful. Loring stood by the curb and held up his left hand, hoping for the best. He was about to abandon the effort when a cab that had picked up a fare thirty feet down the block stopped in front of him.
