Somebody's killing Russian expatriates and the FBI is running out
of leads. The deeper the FBI digs, the more obstacles it
encounters. Wade Brooks isn't concerned about the capital's crime
rate. Not at all. Wade has fallen under the spell of Evelyn Graham,
an alluring staff member of the British Embassy. Wade works for
President Roosevelt's top ally on Capitol Hill and is uniquely
positioned to witness America's tight rope walk between supporting
the British and maintaining neutrality in the European War. Wade
learns that the characters in pre-war Washington aren't always what
they seem to be as he finds himself ensnared in a web of romance,
espionage and intrigue. WADE'S WAR carries its reader on an
ever-accelerating race toward a shattering conclusion
John Petersen is a war-weary Army lieutenant assigned to guard the
highest ranking survivors of Hitler's Third Reich at the Nuremberg
trials. Petersen has two primary jobs: first to keep Hermann
Goering, Hitler's number 2 man, alive until he can be tried and
hanged; and second, to keep his mercurial commanding officer,
Douglas Gaffner, happy. These tasks don't always go hand-in-hand. A
combat veteran, Petersen has a lot to learn about post-war life. He
never imagines that his friendship with Robert Simmons, an
unrepentant trader on Nuremburg's black market, will lead to
tragedy. He never guesses that his affair with housekeeper Lisbeth
Bichler will end in betrayal and heartbreak. He never imagines his
wary friendship with Goering will jeopardize his standing with
Gaffner. He doesn't realize until too late the lengths to which
Goering will go to cheat the hangman and deny the Allies their
final revenge. Set at the International Military Tribunal in
Nuremburg, Germany, the story follows Petersen from the
battlefields of World War II to the clandestine conflicts of the
Cold War and into a shadowy, new world where intrigue, romance and
a thriving Black Market intersect with the ripening conflict
between East and West.
