Synopses & Reviews
October 1945: The Germans and Japanese have surrendered. For Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS, it should be time to pack up, but they have far more important things to do.
In the closing months of the war, the United States made a secret deal with the head of German intelligence’s Soviet section. In exchange for a treasure trove of intelligence, including the identity of the Soviet spies in the American atomic bomb program, his people would be spirited to safety. If word got out, all hell would break loose, and the United States would lose some of its best sources, not to mention its most valuable secrets.
It is up to Frade and company to keep them all safe. But some people have other ideas.
Review
"Solid...In a story that's more spy-vs.-spy than military action, the authors meticulously recreate place and time."

Synopsis
In 1943, Argentina Marine pilotturned- agent Cletus Frade is setting up an OSS-operated airline. But before Frade can get airborne, two interwoven German operations must be grounded. And for Frade-whose father was killed by the Nazis-the mission is about to get personal.
Synopsis
June 1943. Many Germans--some of them high-ranking officers--believe the tides of war have turned against them. Increased activity suggests there may be truth to whispers heard by Office of Strategic Services spies: that the Nazis are extorting Jews outside Germany to buy their relatives' freedom from extermination camps, then smuggling the ransom in Operation Phoenix to fund safe havens in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for senior Nazi officials when Germany falls.
With so much money and more at stake, lives are, too, and it's up to USMC Major Cletus Frade--the top OSS spook in "neutral" Argentina--to find out.
That is, before the ruthless Nazis order his murder...
