Official synopsis Publisher
“It is April 1943, and Marine aviator Cletus Frade, Army demolitions wizard Anthony Pelosi, and communications expert David Ettinger are thrust again into the lethal nest of intrigue that is wartime Buenos Aires. A clandestine German vessel sets sail to resupply submarines in the South Atlantic…as a massive shipment of money earmarked for a postwar Reich makes its way to South America…and a coup designed to topple the government reaches critical mass. In the midst of it all, the German-ordered assassination of Cletus Frade’s father demands only one response: revenge.” “Threading their way carefully between Axis and Allied sympathizers, and even between rival OSS and FBI factions, the three soldiers must strive their utmost not only to fulfill their missions – but just to stay alive. And for that, even their utmost may not be enough…”–BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
