@jodiegriffin.bsky.social Thought about you this afternoon. Pulled into a random parking lot in a random strip mall in Alabama to adjust the mirrors of the vehicle I was in (dealer exchange for my BIL). I looked up at the building - it was a Goodwill. 🤣

Bluesky, I need your help. Back in the 1970s there was a paperback original series of men's adventure stories where the protagonist was a spy/hitman who worked for the Vatican. Books had photo covers, and I recall three in the series, but can't remember the name. Anyone?
