The SPECIALISTS are five ex-soldiers, all trained in jungle warfare, each with a deadly specialty. As civilians, they lead inconspicuous lives, until the colonel sends for them. Then their job is to find and eliminate the worst kind of criminal, those who hurt the innocent, those the law cannot touch. Sometimes it's easy. This time, however, they're going up against a man who has his own team of specialists.
Albert Platt is a rotten man. Bred in the rough parts of Brooklyn, he made his name as a killer and has built a fortune from gambling, loan sharking, and the other pastimes of a standard thug. His latest gambit? Buying banks, robbing them and collecting the insurance. He's a hard man, and no one ever stood in his way until he brushed up against Eddie Manso.
