Another sleek-surfaced search, which doesn't hit her first two, but which will satisfy most specifications for suspense. Kit, all nerves exposed after a torture session in Spain, returns to N. Y. to declare open season on a circle of phony refugees who murder his best friend. The sellout of his girl, killing of an F.B.I. friend, bait of some golden goblets, identity of his Spanish inquisitor, and allure of Toni, make for expert ersatz.
