Description
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.
Reviews
The enemy of my enemy
4By Joey washington 3Interesting book . Jumped to many unfounded conclusions. Was not aware of all the intrigue after WWII . Appreciated the mention of Jehovah’s Witnesses and how they were slaughtered mercilessly by the SS . Unfortunately the same mentality towards minorities is visible today in almost every country . As well as the lack of cohesiveness in many governments of the world are creating a vacuum for a tyrant to step in and set up the same conditions suffered through during WWII .Repeat of prior books
1By robert168169This book was a summary of prior books with little plot development. Not going to be a book that I reread.
