The Admiral's Spies

By D. W. Drake and D.W. Drake

In late 1940, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, chief of the German Abwehr espionage agency hatches a diabolical scheme. A specially chosen group of Jewish immigrants to the United States are given a choice. Either spy for the Third Reich or their close relatives being held hostage in Germany will die. Hannah Rosen, a beautiful young Jewish refugee, is one of those caught in the Abwehr's web. Not only is she forced to spy for the Germans, she must also give up the man she loves. Fritz Hofmann, an expatriate American and reluctant spy is smuggled into America by U-Boat, wangles a job with the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team and uses the position as a cover to spy for the Abwehr. FBI Special Agent Ted Miller, through a series of suspicious events, becomes convinced that there is a nest of German spies skulking in the United States, but no one in the FBI will believe him. Leo Durocher, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, struggles with a lack of playing talent to do the one thing he loves more than drinking and chasing women, which is winning baseball games. SS-Untersturmfuhrer Franz Keller, on a mission to New York for the SS, has some private scores to settle first. Set against the rich panoply of World War II era New York City, the threads of these characters' lives converge and intertwine and hurtle toward an action packed, deadly conclusion.
