Bestselling author W.E.B. Griffin has captivated readers with his electrifying saga of the Marine Corps. Now he presents his most powerful story of World War II - a desperate mission in the farthest reaching shadows of Nazi power... October 1942. At a secret rendezvous point off the coast of neutral Argentina, a small merchant ship delivers supplies to Nazi submarines and raiders. The OSS is determined to sabotage the operation by any means necessary....

The third in a series of novels about World War II espionage in Germany and Argentina follows the activities of a German general and his son who are working toward the assassination of Adolf Hitler, and Cletus Prade, a rogue agent with the OSS who is trying to keep himself and the German agents alive until their goal is achieved.

Assigned to help a German lieutenant colonel to escape from a prisoner-of-war detention center, World War II OSS officer Cletus Frade learns of the colonel's role in a conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler and must outmaneuver a plot to kill the man's Nazi-connected parents.

In the aftermath of the surrenders of Germany and Japan in October 1945, Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS are given the life-threatening task of maintaining security during a covert U.S. deal with Germany for intelligence about the identities of Soviet spies in the American atomic bomb program.
