Harry Homewood

A Matter of Size Harry Homewood

How were the Russians getting a sophisticated electronic component that could only be designed and built by a handful of men - all living in the United States? Even more puzzling, how would it be exported? Hennessey, a tough, resourceful, deadly former agent, is summoned to undertake this important, but dangerous, assignment. Hennessey narrows the search to a small electronics shop owned by a man named Andress and discovers Andress' wife and child are gone. Were they being held hostage until the job was done? Hennessey must find the kidnappers to discover who is behind this espionage scheme. Harry Homewood was a qualified submariner before he was seventeen years old, having lied to the Navy about his age, and serving in a little "S"-boat in the old Asiatic Fleet. After Pearl Harbor he reenlisted and made eleven war patrols in the Southwest Pacific. He later became Chicago Bureau Chief for Newsweek, chief editorial writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, and for eleven years had his own weekly news program syndicated to thirty-two PBS television stations.
