Publisher Description
June 1943. Many Germans—some of them high-ranking officers—believe the tides of war have turned against them.
Increased activity suggests there may be truth to whispers heard by Office of Strategic Services spies: that the Nazis are extorting Jews outside Germany to buy their relatives’ freedom from extermination camps, then smuggling the ransom in Operation Phoenix to fund safe havens in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for senior Nazi officials when Germany falls.
With so much money and more at stake, lives are, too, and it’s up to USMC Major Cletus Frade—the top OSS spook in “neutral” Argentina—to find out.
That is, before the ruthless Nazis order his murder...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The solid fourth Honor Bound thriller from bestseller Griffin and son Butterworth picks up where 2000's Secret Honor left off, with OSS agent Cletus Frade still tangling with high-level Nazis in supposedly neutral Argentina in 1943. Fans of WWII-era military fiction, many of whom will likely know little about the South American theater during this period, will welcome this encyclopedic tome, which leaves no small or large historic fact unturned, including recently discovered information exposing the involvement of future Argentine leader Juan Per n in the Nazi cause. In a story that's more spy-vs.-spy than military action, the authors meticulously recreate place and time. Those seeking an easier entry into Griffin's military novels might be advised to start with one of the better-known series such as Presidential
Customer Reviews
Death and Honor
One of Griffin's best! Great plotting and great pacing. Characters
are believable and richly placed and used.
The description of the pampas and Buenos Aires, and the Rio Plate and other parts of Argentina are wonderful and beautiful. I want to go there and experience all that beauty first hand.
The war scenes were, as usual, accurate and depressing.
Thanks again Mr. Butterworth III & IV.
Sincerely, R. Michael Herzberg
