Book III in the CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS series
by W.E.B. Griffin
and William E. Butterworth IV
The dramatic new novel about the Cold War, the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency—and a new breed of warrior.
January 1946: Two Women’s Army Corps members leave an officers’ club in Munich. Four Soviet NKGB agents kidnap them at knifepoint in the parking lot and shove them in the back of an ambulance. That is the agents’ first mistake, and their last. One of the WACs, a blond improbably named Claudette Colbert, works for the new Directorate of Central Intelligence, and three of the men end up dead and the fourth wounded.
The “incident,” however, sends shock waves rippling up and down the line and creates major repercussions not only for her, but for her boss, James Cronley, Chief DCI-Europe, and for everybody involved in their still-evolving enterprise. For, though the Germans may have been defeated, Cronley and his company are on the front lines of an entirely different kind of war now. The enemy has changed, the rules have changed—and the stakes have never been higher.

NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK! “A fascinating, informative, and very funny novel by that American writing phenomenon known as William E. Butterworth III. This one will keep you wondering, is it fact or fiction?” — FANNIE FLAGG, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE “Writing as W.E.B. Griffin, Bill Butterworth has given us an unrivaled array of novels about men at war, both on famed battlefields and in shadows. This time out, his target was pure – no, make that blushingly impure – enjoyment. The result? A ripping, rollicking, very tall tale of Cold War derring-do that’s more fun than a long weekend in Vegas with your worst enemy’s credit card.” — RALPH PETERS, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CAIN AT GETTYSBURG AND VALLEY OF THE SHADOW “The only thing funnier than a Yankee in the Deep South is a Yankee bestselling author writing about it. THE HUNTING TRIP is hilarious.” — WINSTON GROOM, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FORREST GUMP AND BETTER TIMES THAN THESE “A romantic adventure ... Throughout there’s bed-hopping ... some bits of outright funny stuff ... "Expletive Deleted!!" employed by the dozens ... a quirky homage to the late Tom Clancy ... [And] Phil finds true love.” — KIRKUS REVIEWS |
