Special agent James Cronley Jr. finds that fighting both
ex-Nazis and the Soviet NKGB can lead to strange bedfellows,
in the dramatic new Clandestine Operations novel about the
birth of the CIA and the Cold War.
A month ago, Cronley managed to capture two notorious Nazi
war criminals, but not without leaving some dead bodies and
outraged Austrian police in his wake. He's been lying low
ever since, but that little vacation is about to end.
Somebody--Odessa, the NKGB, the Hungarian Secret
Police?--has broken the criminals out of jail, and he must
track them down again.
But there's more to it than that. Evidence has surfaced that
in the war's last gasps, Heinrich Himmler had stashed away a
fortune to build a secret religion, dedicated both to
Himmler and to creating the Fourth Reich. That money is
still out there in the hands of Odessa, and that infamous
organization seems to have acquired a surprising--and
troubling--ally.
Cronley is fast finding out that the phrase "the enemy of my
enemy is my friend" can mean a lot of different things, and
that it is not always clear which people he can trust and
which are out to kill him.
