Ace Mitchell - Ashtrays, a Dead Saint, and Bavarian Bullion (Paperback)

The whole adventure started with a Firestone Tire replica ashtray, created for the New York Worlda s Fair in 1939. Pat Mitchell (who really exists) bought the ashtray at a yard sale. According to Mitchell, engraved into the ashtraya s lip was a code pertaining to a fortune in gold bullion. Intrigued, he began to collect these ashtrays and found more codes. He became obsessed. Was Pat crazy, seeing things? He enlists his reluctant grandson, an investigative reporter, to help. Ace Mitchell, Pata s grandson, begins a grand quest for the truth, which takes him from Philadelphia to Clarksburg, West Virginia to Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. During his investigation, he encounters members of U.S. Intelligence, Der Spinne, a Nazi organization based in South America, and one of Germanya s richest men. What will he find: a fortune in gold bullion, hidden by the Jews of Bavaria before the war, or a verification of the delusional obsession of an old man? Ace Mitchell is a story that jumps between pre- and post-war Bavaria and current times. It is a story of greed, murder and hypocrisy. Pat Mitchella s notes are very thorough and reproduced in the book. Could it all be true?
