Publisher's summary
Winston Churchill receives startling news from a German aristocrat in early 1933 after Adolf Hitler is appointed Chancellor of Germany. The aristocrat has learned of a plot to stage a fake assassination attempt on the new German leader that the Nazis will use as a pretext to declare martial law and liquidate their political opponents. Unknown to Hitler, however, his enemies within the Nazi party - the Black Front - are conspiring with renegade elements of his own SS to turn the fake assassination attempt into a real one.
Churchill tells the American newspaper titan, William Randolph Hearst, of the fake plot, and together, they persuade Mattie McGary, Hearst's top photojournalist and Churchill's adventure-seeking Scottish goddaughter, to investigate. Mattie readily agrees, in large part because exposing the fake plot may help her finally shed the unfortunate reputation she has in Germany as "Hitler's favorite foreign journalist".
Soon after she leaves for Germany, Mattie's fiancé, the American lawyer and former MID agent, Bourke Cockran, Jr., also travels to Germany to help his publisher client, Freedom House, acquire the rights to Rear Area Pig, an expose of Hitler's less-than-heroic wartime service. Once in Germany, both Mattie and Cockran find themselves in peril at the hands of the SS loyal to Hitler who will stop at nothing to keep Cockran from acquiring the book and Mattie from learning the truth about the fake plot.
Threats to Mattie multiply when SS agents working for the Black Front attempt to coerce her into joining the real plot to kill Hitler. When Cockran learns the Black Front intends to kill Mattie along with Hitler at his alpine retreat, the Berghof, he reluctantly seeks the help of Reichspresident Herman Göring and Kurt von Sturm, a top Göring aide who is also one of Mattie's former lovers. The one-time rivals for Mattie's affection quickly conclude that there is only one way to protect Mattie.

Buried deep within the consciousness of Sergeant Raymond Shaw is the mechanism of an assassin, a time bomb ticking toward explosion, controlled by the delicate skill of its Communist masters. Shaw returns from the Korean War to an idolizing and unsuspecting country. What follows is at once a spy story, a love story, and a sobering, yet outrageously funny satire on demagoguery in American politics.

When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

D-Day is approaching. They don’t know where or when, but the Germans know it’ll be soon, and for Felicity "Flick" Clariet, the stakes have never been higher. A senior agent in the ranks of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) responsible for sabotage, Flick has survived to become one of Britain’s most effective operatives in Northern France. She knows that the Germans’ ability to thwart the Allied attack depends upon their lines of communications, and in the days before the invasion, no target is of greater strategic importance than the largest telephone exchange in Europe.

Story
From its first moments, Hunter takes you on a nonstop thrill ride: from the top floor of the CIA, to the marbled corridors of Capitol Hill...from the posh hotels of downtown Washington, to the city's mean, violent streets. It introduces a colorful new hero for our time - and a dazzling heroine every bit his equal. A spy mystery...a crime thriller...a passionate romance: Hunter is a genre-bending novel unlike any you've read. Deviously plotted, filled with vivid characters, and propelled at a breakneck pace.

In the first weeks after World War II, a squeaky-clean new second lieutenant named James D. Cronley Jr. is spotted and recruited for a new enterprise that will eventually be transformed into something called the CIA. One war may have ended, but another one has already begun, against an enemy that is bigger, smarter, and more vicious: The Soviet Union. The Soviets have hit the ground running, and Cronley's job is to help frustrate them, harass them, and spy on them any way he can.

Story
Father Kevin Thrall, chaplain to an inner-city parochial school in Washington, D.C., leads a quiet and rewarding life. But to the Vatican, Thrall's past of elite military combat is uniquely suited for a dangerous mission - one directly tied to the mysterious prophecy revealed by the Blessed Virgin to three Portuguese shepherd children. The three Secrets of Fatima were closely held by the Vatican for decades, but many believe that the Vatican withheld important - and possibly dangerous - parts of the Third Secret.

BETRAYED! NOT A GOOD BUY
IF YOU LIKE GUNS. REALLY IMPROBABLE PLOTS. AND FEMALE CHARACTERS OUT OF DICK TRACY COMICS, YOU MAY LIKE THIS BOOK. I PREFER EVEN MY FLUFF READING TO HAVE A BIT OF SUBSTANCE, WRITING THAT IS NOT DIDACTIC, AND CONSISTENCY IN CHARACTERS. ALSO A FEW TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE VOLUME MADE LISTENING TO IT ANNOYING AT TIMES.
MAIN CHARACTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING MARRIED BUT --SEPARATELY-- THEY JET AROUND 1933 GERMANY & US AND SPOTS IN BETWEEN. BEGGARS BELIEF.
THEN THE GUNS-- SEEMED LIKE EVERYONE WAS SPOUTING DETAILS FROM A GUN SHOW CATALOGUE. NOT NECESSARY. EQUALLY UNNECESSARY WAS THE MAJOR EVIL NAZI THREATENING FEMALE CHARACTER WITH RAPE EVERYTIME THEY MET. FRANKLY, HER BIG FINAL SHOW OF 'DON'T MESS WITH ME,' WHILE A NICE TOUCH, I IMMEDIATELY WONDERED WHERE ALL THAT SCOTTISH GRAWL HAD BEEN EARLIER.
I HAVE READ WILBUR SMITH AND KEN FOLLET AND MARK MILLS. I ENJOYED THEM.
IF YOU WANT A ROMP W/O MUCH PLAUSIBILITY THEN YOU MAY LIKE THIS SO-SO NOVEL. I DID NOT LIKE IT.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
