Lindgren, David T. / Rogers, William F. The Penitent Spy. New York: Page Publishing, 2018, stated First Edition, 199pp., PAPERBACK, very good copy, small stain at top of front cover, light wear to front cover and corners. As Hitler's government takes control of the Sudetenland, a mostly German-speaking region of Czechoslovakia, Jack Adler's family is forced to flee to Prague in 1938. Later, when the German Wehrmacht invades the whole of Czechoslovakia, the family miraculously escapes by heading in different directions. Only near the war's end and after enduring untold dangers, the entire family finally reunites in Quito, Ecuador. A chance part-time job at the American Embassy leads to Jack's immigration to the US. His family remains in Ecuador, hoping to return to a Czechoslovakia free from the control of the Soviet Union. In America Jack's ability to speak several languages enables him to join the Army. Soon after he transfers to the newly established Central Intelligence Agency. The Agency is the perfect place for him; he can serve his newly adopted country while combating the very fascism that had twice overwhelmed his country of birth. Assigned to the Cuba Desk, he eagerly takes on the White House mission of preventing the spread of Communism to the Western Hemisphere. But the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion, the overthrow of the democratically elected President Allende in Chile, and a final tragic operation in Ecuador serve to shatter his illusions on the nobility of US policies in the Americas. Seeking solace in his Jewish faith, he spends his final years in a desperate search for atonement. ISBN 9781642148152.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The time is June 1942, the beginning of America's first summer at war. Somewhere off the coast of Massachusetts a German U-boat surfaces under cover of darkness. Aboard the U-boat are two agents of the Abwehr, Germany's military intelligence service, whom the ship's commander has been ordered to drop safely on American soil. The agents have as their mission to conduct sabotage against military and industrial installations. Hitler's intention in devising such an operation is to remind Americans he has the capability and the will to bring the war to their backyard.As the two agents are bringing their equipment ashore, they are surprised by a patrolling US Coastguardsman, who is quickly killed by one of the crewmen from the U-boat but an attack dog accompanying him badly mauls one of the agents. Desperately in need of medical attention, the wounded agent must be returned to the U-boat for treatment. As the crewmen disappear into the night Erich Stinnes, alias Karl Stoner, is left with the sudden realization he will be carrying out this operation on his own.Stoner is fortunate in not only finding a job at the local shipyard but he is able to rent an apartment from an attractive woman, who is recently widowed. It is not long before the two of them begin an affair that causes Karl, already ambivalent about the war, to question the wisdom of his mission. Before he can resolve his dilemma, an incident at the shipyard exposes him for what he is. Having no choice he is forced to flee leaving Anne to suffer the consequences of her affair with a Nazi spy.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It all begins innocently enough. As a result of losing both his job and his girlfriend, Michael Hendrick has a simple urge to escape New York. He books a flight to Quito, Ecuador, where Adam Winthrop, a business school friend, works in the American Embassy. Shortly after Michael's arrival, Adam introduces him to Carolina Mayer, the daughter of the leading candidate for the presidency of Ecuador. Michael can't believe his good fortune, and the two quickly became enamored with one another. Meanwhile, wandering about the city, Michael meets a local bar owner who asks him to find someone to translate a diary-written in German script-that purportedly contains the secret to the location of Atahualpa's gold. Adam warns Michael not to get involved in this treasure hunt, especially since the last person to possess the diary has been murdered. When Michael agrees to look for a translator, he inadvertently sets in motion an alarming series of events that not only places his life in danger, but causes incalculable harm to Carolina and her family.
