Description

In September 1963 President Kennedy commissions intelligence officer Tom Grant to ferret out stolen gold and other treasure that vanished while in the hands of Nazi army officials.Grant soon discovers that nothing in his training at Langley and Fort Benning could adequately prepare him to deal with the deceitful minds and extreme dangers that lie ahead of him. He is caught in a web of intrigue and paranoia as he infiltrates the Iron Curtain. Encountering menacing characters at every turn, he is convinced that ex-Nazis and Communist assassins are following him. Throughout this roller-coaster story, Grant meets and sidesteps perils that nearly destroy him. Only at the thrilling conclusion, when he uncovers dirty little secrets of the Third Reich, does he fully comprehend the gravity of his precarious situation.
