Hitler has killed himself, but Cletus Frade's war is far from over. The OSS operative finds himself fighting on two fronts that threaten everything he has worked for. Government agencies circle like vultures, each trying to seize pieces of the OSS and its valuable intelligence network. The Treasury Department wants the assets. The War Department claims the agents. The FBI grabs for control. Meanwhile, a larger threat emerges as Stalin's Soviet Union positions itself for the next global conflict. Frade runs a covert mission of extraordinary risk to stay ahead of this new enemy. He and his team must operate in complete secrecy, knowing that discovery means death for all of them. Every move they make walks the razor's edge between success and catastrophe. The political survival of their organization hangs in the balance while the specter of another world war looms over everything they do.
