The Handyman

The Handyman by Jon Messmann

The first novel in the acclaimed Jefferson Boone: Handyman series of adventure novels, back in print for the first time in fifty years.

Jefferson Boone is a daring, adventurous, globe-trotting trouble-shooter, known for romancing beautiful women and speeding around in his beloved red Mustang, who does freelance espionage, what he likes to call “handyman” work, for the U.S. government. He’s sent to Italy to deliver a set of deeds to the world’s richest heiress for her signature before she marries her lover. It seems like an easy, mundate job… except that the last two couriers the State Department sent were brutally murdered before they could complete the assignment.

This new edition features an Afterword by Eric Compton, co-host of the Paperback Warrior podcast.

Previously published as Jefferson Boone: Handyman – The Moneta Papers.

The Handyman 5.0

Boone is a good shot, but not great and he is only an above-average fighter. But what makes him an effective fixer is his determination. Once Boone accepts a job, he doesn't stop until it's done.
