Part of Sigma Force, book 7.5
First published 2012
Captain Tucker Wayne and his military war dog Kane walk the medieval streets of Budapest when they encounter a woman running from armed pursuers. Wayne intervenes, but the woman carries a secret that pulls them into something far larger than a street chase. Her knowledge points to a treasure hidden since Nazi Germany's collapse, one built on blood and betrayal. The mystery stretches from World War II's final days into the present, where old crimes demand new victims. Wayne and Kane must follow the trail through Budapest's underground, racing against enemies who will kill to claim what the Nazis left behind. Their pursuit leads to a forgotten cemetery where the dead keep their secrets. In this buried place, Wayne faces a choice that will determine whether the past's evil finally dies or continues to spread. Only the bond between soldier and dog stands between justice and catastrophe.
