Part of Cotton Malone, book 6.5
First published 2011
Jonathan Wyatt once earned the nickname "the Sphinx" for his unpredictable moves in intelligence work. Now he operates as a contract agent with his own secret agenda. For eight years, Wyatt has nursed his hatred for Federal agents Christopher Combs and Cotton Malone, the men he holds responsible for destroying his career. He has spent nearly a decade plotting their deaths, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When Wyatt travels to a remote South American village to prepare his final assault on his targets, he uncovers something unexpected. His discovery connects to World War II atrocities, a mysterious child's birth, and high-ranking Nazis Martin Bormann and Eva Braun. The revelation also leads to a missing fortune in gold. As Wyatt pieces together this wartime secret, his personal vendetta becomes entangled with historical mysteries that could change everything he thought he knew about his mission.
