    About this audiobook

    Special agent James Cronley Jr. finds that fighting both ex-Nazis and the Soviet NKGB can lead to strange bedfellows, in the dramatic new Clandestine Operations novel about the birth of the CIA and the Cold War.

    A month ago, Cronley managed to capture two notorious Nazi war criminals, but not without leaving some dead bodies and outraged Austrian police in his wake. He's been lying low ever since, but that little vacation is about to end. Somebody—Odessa, the NKGB, the Hungarian Secret Police?—has broken the criminals out of jail, and he must track them down again.

    But there's more to it than that. Evidence has surfaced that in the war's last gasps, Heinrich Himmler had stashed away a fortune to build a secret religion, dedicated both to Himmler and to creating the Fourth Reich. That money is still out there in the hands of Odessa, and that infamous organization seems to have acquired a surprising—and troubling—ally.

    Cronley is fast finding out that the phrase "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" can mean a lot of different things, and that it is not always clear which people he can trust and which are out to kill him.

      The worst of Griffin's many books about the military, spies, and the Philly Police Dept. The story meanders with no clear direction and the ending is totally different from his other books. Would not recommend this book.
    • 4/5
      The war is over in Europe and Nazis are on trial for war crimes. A couple escape and Cronley is tasked to find them, cooperating with the Russians and the Vatican to do it..."Enemy of my Enemy." There are other familiar characters, Frada, Tiny and others, but MG Green plays a larger role for some reason. Once the listener gets past Griffin's story telling syle, it all works. Griffin/Butterworth, the author, spent 1946 in the Constabulary in Germany, so this story makes good sense for him. Too bad he did not follow on with book #6--more story exists there.
