Description
In 1949, Cologne lies in ruins, but one man, Hanno Dasch, has built an empire. As director of the most successful black market operation in post-war Germany, Dasch has cornered the market on rare and extravagant goods. His clients are legion, but only a handful know the true extent of his operations. The Allies, however, are closing in, and the CIA has set its sights on taking down Dasch's lucrative business. A disgraced American Army officer, Nathan Carter, is recruited to infiltrate Dasch's world and gather intelligence. As Carter becomes embroiled in Dasch's labyrinthine network, he uncovers a counterfeiting ring with a sinister purpose. With the stakes escalating and the danger of exposure ever-present, Carter finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse between rival spy agencies. As the situation spirals out of control, the fate of the Soviet economy hangs in the balance. Can Carter navigate the treacherous landscape of Dasch's empire and prevent a catastrophic war?
