This is Griffin’s fortieth novel, the fourth in the Honor Bond series, and the third written with Butterworth. It involves one Cletus Frade, a Marine fighter pilot who is also a spy in the Office of Strategic Services in 1943. Frade’s father was murdered by the Nazis, and Frade is asked to set up an airline in Argentina using Lockheed Lodestars. The story concerns two secret German operations—a Nazi scheme for German Jews to purchase freedom for their relatives in concentration camps and where that “dirty money” is really going, a plan labeled Operation Phoenix. The aim of this plan is to set up safe havens in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for top Nazis who realize they have lost World War II. As in his other books, Griffin’s new novel deals with honor and courage. And, as always, his many fans will want to read this one. --George Cohen
