Description
The Schneider Johnson case was hardly the most glamorous assignment for George Cary, a former bomber pilot turned lawyer. His task was to sift through reams of files, ensuring nothing had been overlooked.
However, amidst the false claims and dead-end leads, Cary stumbled upon something that transformed the case into more than just a missing heir scenario. This discovery would link a Napoleon-era deserter to a guerrilla fighter in post-war Greece, drawing Cary into a perilous situation where his survival depended on skills learned during the war rather than those acquired in law school.
As Cary delved deeper, he found himself entangled in a complex web of intrigue and deception. With each new revelation, his own life hung precariously in the balance.
