AN American Spy

by Christopher Hyde

Genres: Spy Thrillers

Synopsis

The “utterly convincing” (Publishers Weekly) World War II espionage thrillers of Christopher Hyde have set a new standard for international intrigue and breathtaking suspense. In An American Spy he’s at the top of his game as he explores a royal scandal, a Nazi conspiracy, and the lure of treason in a world at war.
 
New York war correspondent Jane Todd has been dispatched to London. Her contact: Major Lucas Dundee, former Los Angeles D.A. The case: the murder of an American G.I.—and unsettling implications of treason by a secret band of U.S soldiers.
 
A sinister trail leads Jane and Lucas into the Scottish Highlands, and into the lair of an American tycoon who’s casting his lot with Hitler. The insidious scheme begins with the theft of the Crown Jewels and the humiliation of Edward VIII, and will end with total Nazi domination of Britain, unless Jane and Lucas can find a way to stop it.
 
“[Hyde] draws tension with the skill of a surgeon.”—New York Times Bestselling Author Michael Connelly
 
“Hyde’s storytelling is pure genius . . . historical fiction at its finest.”
