W. E. B. Griffin

The dramatic new novel in Griffin's "New York Times"-bestselling chronicle of the Philadelphia police force. There's a sudden spike in murders in Philadelphia, but no one seems to mind much because the victims all seem to be lowlifes. The more Homicide Sergeant Matthew Payne investigates, however, the more he gets a bad feeling.

Two brutal murders and millions of missing dollars in the growing UN/Iraq oil-for-food scandal have led Castillo and his team to an estancia in Uruguay, where the man they seek is murdered right before their eyes. Who is responsible?

Summer 1943. Two of the Allies' most important plans for winning World War II are at grave risk, Operation Overlord's invasion of France, and the Manhattan Project's race to build the atomic bomb. A furious FDR turns to OSS spy chief Wild Bill Donovan, and Donovan turns to his top agent, Dick Canidy, and his team. They've certainly got their work cut out for them.
