California Hit by Don Pendleton

This document appears to be excerpts from a novel, "California Hit" by Don Pendleton, featuring the protagonist Mack Bolan, also known as The Executioner. The narrative details Bolan's violent campaign against the Mafia in San Francisco, focusing on a major strike against the mob's operations at the "China Gardens" and subsequently targeting key figures like Roman DeMarco and Franco Laurentis. The story also introduces allies and antagonists, including the complex character Mary Ching, and the "Brushfire Squad" led by Sergeant Bill Phillips, who grapples with his duty versus his respect for Bolan's vigilante actions. The presence of a table of contents and numbered book titles strongly suggests this text is part of a larger series centered on Bolan's ongoing "war" against organized crime across various locations.
