Adventure/Suspense Large Print Edition A single cry from a young refugee shattered Pierre s sorrowful resignation over the fate of his twin brother. Could it be that Patrique, a leader in the French Resistance, had survived an enemy ambush all that time ago? If so, why would he be hiding in Morocco? Racing against assassins and time across Europe and into North Africa, Jake Burnes and Pierre Servais pursue a long-abandoned hope.
Book 3
Although Jake Burnes and Pierre Servais have rescued Pierre's twin brother from kidnappers in Morocco, they are still far from being out of danger.
Colonel Jake Burns had never imagined himself a spy, but the acclaim he won for rescuing a French Resistance hero and bringing a traitor to justice led to an even more clandestine assignment. He must venture into occupied Germany and secure the safe passage of two rocket scientists to the West. As Stalin's stranglehold on Berlin tightens, Jake goes forward with his mission -- unaware that Russian spies have infiltrated his elite group . . .
As the Iron Curtain descends across battle-scarred Europe, American foreign policy races from crisis to crisis. With Stalin on the move, there's only one hope -- a strategy of containment to draw a defense against Communist expansion. At this moment in time, Jake and Sally are dispatched to Istanbul to oversee a massive aid program. Amidst murky Byzantine alleys, and magnificent domes and minarets, the couple is thrust into a hotbed of international intrigue the likes of which they'd never imagined.
An American officer and a veteran of the French Resistance, who have become friends after being assigned to the same area of defeated Germany, are both attracted to the same woman, a diplomat organizing care for war orphans and abandoned children.
