Several Daring Crimes
London. A politician wakes with a beautiful girl; a criminal briefs his team; a tycoon breakfasts with a Bank official. Then three stories break: an attempted suicide, a hijack and a take-over bid.
One Shocking Conspiracy
They seem unrelated – until Evening Post reporters ask questions. Why is a Jamaican bank in trouble? Who drove the Rolls-Royce seen near the raid? Who was the man with gunshot wounds? Over the course of a single day, fortunes will be destroyed, reputations shattered and principles shredded.
A Dangerous Truth
It is only when a blackmailed politician decides to take matters into his own hands and to set a pair of fearless reporters on the trail that a criminal web at the heart of the conspiracy is uncovered. Will the truth be too dangerous to print on this unforgettable day in the capital?

such a diabolical plot that if not stopped it would forever change

It's been three years since Germany's unconditional surrender, and
United States Army Sergeant Rich Hammond remains on duty after
originally being drafted in 1942. Exploiting the divisions between
East and West Germany, Hammond runs a profitable black market
business for drugs, cigarettes, porn-even Spam-as goods remain
sparse. But Hammond's dealings make him a perfect target for the
Russians in their search for spies.
With tensions between the United States and Russia escalating,
Hammond is blackmailed into supplying seemingly mundane
information. It's a role that suits him, at least while he's still
stationed in Germany. When Hammond is shipped back to the States,
the stakes begin to rise. The Russians want Hammond as a stateside
operative, but Hammond wants that part of his life left in Europe.
Unfortunately, he can't shake it off.
Only slightly behind Hammond on his trail of treason is Carl
Foreman, an officer serving in Army Counterintelligence. As Foreman
begins to rise through the ranks, he puzzles together pieces of
Hammond's deceptions, even as the trail just seems to become more
and more confusing.
With the twists and turns of this spy game ever more
entangling, discover if Hammond is able to keep Foreman at arm's
length-or if the spy will ultimately meet his demise.
