Om denne e-bog
A homegrown Nazi conspiracy threatens to destroy America in this historical FBI thriller: “A stirring successor to Frederick Forsyth” (The Independent).
Washington, DC, 1940. Jimmy Nessheim, a young special agent in the fledgling FBI, is assigned to infiltrate a new German American organization known as the Bund. Ardently pro-Nazi, the Bund is conspiring to sabotage American efforts against Adolf Hitler. But Nessheim’s investigation soon uncovers something far more sinister—and it leads directly to the White House. Drawn into the rarified world of Washington’s high society, Nessheim is caught in a web of political intrigue, secret lives, and a lethal plot that could rewrite history.
With sharp wit and a keen eye for period detail, author Andrew Rosenheim brings to life an America at the crucial period before it entered World War II. He seamlessly weaves into the narrative larger-than-life figures such as J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, and Lucy Mercer Rutherford, as well as historical events like the 1939 pro-Nazi rally held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
