The Adventures of Frank Race: Volume 3

Frank Race is a cultured and sophisticated investigator who, in his world travels, encounters equal measures of crime, espionage, violence, and attractive but suspicious women. A dashing combination of Johnny Dollar and James Bond, Race began his professional career as a successful attorney but, after a stint with the OSS during World War II, he found his former profession to be far too dull and predictable. Adventure had become his goal—and it quickly became his business. Heard today, 'The Adventures of Frank Race' remains engrossing, action-packed entertainment reminiscent of shows like 'The Man Called X' and 'Counterspy'—cold war-era series that say as much about the paranoia of the post-war world as they do about their audiences' love of action and suspense.
