Book
III, Secret Honor
1943. In Wolf's Lair, a German general works toward the assassination
of Adolf Hitler. In Buenos Aires, the general's son, codenamed
Galahad, falls under suspicion by the SS after a Nazi operation
suddenly goes bad. In the middle: OSS agent Clete Frade, who knows
their identities and what they will do next—if they can survive
that long. For not only are SS and Abwehr officers hot on their
trails, but the OSS has branded Frade as a rogue agent and is
determined to shake the truth from him, at whatever cost. If Frade
can't figure out a way to hold them all off, then the futures
of all three men may be very short indeed...
"Griffin adroitly shifts among German, American and Argentinean
cultural milieux and fills the plot with believable romance, intrigue,
and diplomatic fencing, while capturing the horrors of war and
the crucial role of intelligence agents... What will happen to
the SS, Cletus and the surviving cast promises an equally exciting
sequel." —Publishers Weekly
"Griffin's
strong eye for detail and rousing ability to keep real earth under
his hero's heels give surprising lift to what otherwise might
seem (like some early WWII movie set in Casablanca) dull stuff.
After all, Cletus and Dorotea will always have Buenos Aires."
—Kirkus Reviews

author once again proves himself a compelling storyteller." —Booklist

troubadour of the American serviceman." —The Washington Post

and ships, are notable for their accuracy, which Griffin is known
for...the plot moves at a brisk pace." —Booklist
"Twists
and turns keep readers guessing until the last page." —Publishers
Weekly
