Book description
Its 1954 and Bernie has tired of his increasingly dangerous work spying
on Meyer Lansky for Cuban Intelligence. He secretly buys a boat and
sails to Florida, where he's arrested, sent back to Cuba and imprisoned
in the Isle of Pines. There he meets Castro, and a French intelligence
officer, Thibaud, who liaises between the CIA and French intelligence.
Exhaustively questioned by Thibaud, Bernie finds himself flown back to
Berlin and another prison cell with a proposition: work for the French
or hang for murder. Bernies job is simple: to meet and greet POWs
returning from Germany. One of these is Edgard de Boudel, a French war
criminal and member of the French SS, who has been posing as a German
Wehrmacht officer. The French are anxious to catch up with this man and
deal with him in their own ruthless way. But Bernie's past as a German
POW in Russia is about to catch up with him in a way he could never have
foreseen. Its 1954 and Bernie has tired of his increasingly dangerous
