The Assassin

Description

On a cold January night in Munich, two American intelligence operatives are forced into an ambulance by a team of armed men—but the kidnappers soon discover they have badly underestimated their captives. When WAC technical sergeant Claudette Colbert fights back, her act of survival exposes a dangerous connection to the Soviet KGB and implicates James Cronley, the powerful Chief of Central Intelligence in Europe. As the investigation widens, American intelligence officers must navigate shifting loyalties, bureaucratic complications, and the perilous shadow war of postwar Europe. Combining authentic military detail with tense action and political intrigue, this thriller explores courage, deception, and the high cost of operating in a world where friend and enemy are rarely easy to distinguish.
