The Honor of Spies

Więcej o książce

06 August 1943: In his brief career in the Office of Strategic Services, twenty-four-year-old Cletus Frade has already been involved in a lot of unusual situations, but nothing like the one he’s in now. Frade’s job? Typical OSS... Having helped a German lieutenant colonel named Wilhelm Frogger escape from a miserably hot and remote Mississippi prisoner-of-war camp, he must now get the defiant POW to turn against his country. Frogger’s parents are in Frade’s custody in Argentina, because of their involvement in a secret German plan to establish post-war safe havens for senior Nazi officials in South America. But they’re being uncooperative, too, and it’s up to Frade to convince the younger Frogger that it is in his best interests to help find out what the parents know. Even more important, however, is the secret within the secret. Before he was captured in Africa, Wilhelm Frogger was part of a conspiracy, its goal to assassinate Adolf Hitler. If the OSS can use his knowledge and connections to nudge that plot along even just a little bit – they may be able to end this war right now. But Frade is not the only one who knows about the Froggers. A troop of Germans and Argentinians, led by a Colonel Juan Peron, is on its way to kill the parents and, after them, the Germans are after Frade himself. His career in the OSS may have been brief – but it may just be about to be over.
