"Masterfully told, Double Cross Blind is a superb World War II thriller...haunting and unforgettable."
—Patricia Cornwell

"Intelligent, fresh, exhilarating. A new career is launched."
—Daniel Silva

Seven days before the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, U.S. Sgt. Tom Wall escapes a British asylum intent on avenging his unit, which fell into a bloody battle in Crete. Shell-shocked, sleep deprived, and recovering from painful hand surgery, Tom is convinced that he knows who betrayed him: his older brother, Earl, now with the American embassy in London. But Earl is missing, and even Earl's wife, Harriet, a Special Ops executive, does not know where he is. When MI5 officials catch Tom, they offer him a deal: pose as Earl to extract sensitive information from Sondegger, a captured Nazi spy, and maintain the integrity of one of the most closely kept secrets of the war, the Twenty Committee. Tom must race to find Earl and thwart Sondegger's plans to transmit crucial intelligence. Throw in a love triangle (Harriet was Tom's first sweetheart) and plenty of action for a first-rate debut that will appeal to fans of espionage thrillers. Recommended for all libraries.
