Synopsis
A homegrown Nazi conspiracy threatens to destroy America in this historical FBI thriller: &“A stirring successor to Frederick Forsyth&” (The Independent). Washington, DC, 1940. Jimmy Nessheim, a young special agent in the fledgling FBI, is assigned to infiltrate a new German American organization known as the Bund. Ardently pro-Nazi, the Bund is conspiring to sabotage American efforts against Adolf Hitler. But Nessheim&’s investigation soon uncovers something far more sinister—and it leads directly to the White House. Drawn into the rarified world of Washington&’s high society, Nessheim is caught in a web of political intrigue, secret lives, and a lethal plot that could rewrite history. With sharp wit and a keen eye for period detail, author Andrew Rosenheim brings to life an America at the crucial period before it entered World War II. He seamlessly weaves into the narrative larger-than-life figures such as J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, and Lucy Mercer Rutherford, as well as historical events like the 1939 pro-Nazi rally held at New York City&’s Madison Square Garden.
