Mission of Fear, first published in 1962, is a novel by master crime fiction author George Harmon Coxe. From the dust-jacket: Sam Adler appeared one afternoon at Marion Hayden’s door trying for the big pay-off-Blackmail. The next day he was dead-paid-off with a knife in the back-and for the Haydens the nightmare had just begun. Adler’s story had been stunning enough before-now, with State Police Lieutenant Garvey pushing hard it could mean a murder indictment for both of them. And Garvey kept the questions coming fast-questions that all reduced to one: Was Ted Corbin alive? Ted Corbin-Marion Hayden’s ex-husband, and by every evidence dead these two years in an airplane accident. Doris Lamar knew some of the answers-but she had her own good reasons for keeping them to herself. John Hayden didn’t have any answers-yet. But he did have two photographs and a hunch; and that was why he was traveling desperately across the country now-in search of a dead man. For if Corbin were alive he might know all the answers -might very well be the answer.This was John Hayden’s last chance: he had to find Corbin … he had to find him.George Harmon Coxe (1901-1984) was a prolific author of crime fiction, publishing 63 novels between 1937 and 1975.
