Synopsis

"Action adventure icon" Mack Bolan is about to become an American Executioner in Paris—Los Angeles Times.

Using the sniper skills he sharpened in the jungles of Southeast Asia, Mack Bolan has waged a personal war against organized crime. Cleaning up the states came first. Now he's going international. While staking out Mafia activity at the Washington Dulles airport, Bolan is caught in an ambush by syndicate guards. As a cordon of police close in on the most wanted man in America, Bolan is forced to fly or die.

Escaping on an airliner bound for the City of Lights, Bolan meets a man who could be his mirror image. So much so, that the double is mistakenly kidnapped by the mob as he steps off the plane. To rescue this unsuspecting innocent, the Executioner is going to bring the Paris underworld to its knees. He may not speak French, but he's fluent in the universal language of a .32.

I'm deep into this series and #25 is next. All the same, this one gets two stars. This one was kinda dumb with the 'movie-star look-alike' who happens to be a fan of Mack Bolan.
