Assigned to the Nuremberg war trials, special agent James Cronley,
Jr., finds himself fighting several wars at once, in the dramatic new
Clandestine Operations novel about the birth of the Central Intelligence
Agency and the Cold War.
When Jim Cronley hears he's just won the Legion of Merit, he figures
there's another shoe to drop, and it's a big one: he's out as Chief,
DCI-Europe. His new assignments, however, couldn't be bigger: to protect
the U.S. chief prosecutor in the Nuremberg trials from a rumored Soviet
NKGB kidnapping, and to hunt down and dismantle the infamous Odessa, an
organization dedicated to helping Nazi war criminals escape to South
America.
It doesn't take long for the first attempt on his life, and then the
second. NKGB or Odessa? Who can tell? The deeper he pushes, the more
secrets tumble out: a scheme to swap Nazi gold for currency, a religious
cult organized around Himmler himself, an NKGB agent who is actually
working for the Mossad, a German cousin who turns out to be more
malevolent than he appears--and a distractingly attractive
newspaperwoman who seems to be asking an awful lot of questions. Which
one will turn out to be the most dangerous? Cronley wishes he knew.
