READ AN EXCERPT

Book V in the CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS series
by W.E.B. Griffin
and William E. Butterworth IV

Published 11 December 2018

Jim Cronley, Chief of Directorate of Central Intelligence Europe, 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 in Argentina ever since, but that forced exile 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 – estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars – 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 bastards are out to kill him.

“An excellent series.”

NOW AVAILABLE IN PREMIUM PAPERBACK!

When the twenty-two-year-old Cronley hears he’s just won the Legion of Merit, he figures there’s another shoe to drop, and it’s a big one: he’s out as Chief, DCI-Europe. His new assignments, however, couldn’t be bigger: to protect the U.S. chief prosecutor in the Nuremberg trials from a rumored Soviet NKGB kidnapping, and to hunt down and dismantle the infamous Odessa, an organization dedicated to helping Nazi war criminals escape to South America.

It doesn’t take long for the first attempt on his life, and then the second. Was it the NKGB or Odessa? Who can tell? The deeper he pushes, the more secrets tumble out: a scheme to swap Nazi gold for currency, a religious cult organized around Himmler himself, an NKGB agent who is actually working for the Mossad, a German cousin who turns out to be more malevolent than he appears – and a distractingly attractive newspaperwoman who seems to be asking an awful lot of questions. 

Which one will turn out to be the most dangerous? Cronley wishes he knew.
