The Killers 2: The Churchill Mission by Klaus Nettson

The Killers 2
The Churchill Mission 
by Klaus Nettson (Laurence James)
also released as The Winston Churchill Murder by Klaus Netzen
1974 Zebra/Mayflower




Forger turned anti-Nazi operative John Standish foils a plot to assassinate Churchill. He parachutes into occupied Holland, murders a woman to keep her quiet, bangs a resistance fighter for a couple of weeks before receiving clues in a coded radio broadcast.

Standish follows the clues to an English army base, eventually tracking down the killer. The plot is a bit thin, or has the verisimilitude of an actual investigation, depending on how you look at it. Felt more grim than exploitive in this installment.
