Murderers’ Row Plot Summary
What happens in Murderers’ Row from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Matt Helm is drawn into a high-stakes spy melodrama that opens with a spectacular deception: a scale model of the United States Capitol is blown apart not by real destruction, but as part of a demonstration inside the hidden lair of BIG O, the Bureau of International Government and Order. This shadowy organization, whose ruthlessly ambitious aim is world domination, has already been seen in The Silencers, and it now marks its foothold on a global stage by orchestrating a wave of assassinations against ICE, the Intelligence Counter Espionage agency. To keep his cover intact and to get to the bottom of the conspiracy, Helm fakes his own death, slipping away from the service’s watchful eyes so he can investigate undetected.
