Frade’s job? Typical OSS... Having helped a German lieutenant colonel named Wilhelm Frogger escape from a miserably hot and remote Mississippi prisoner-of-war camp, he must now get the defiant POW to turn against his country.

Even more important, however, is the secret within the secret. Before he was captured in Africa, Wilhelm Frogger was part of a conspiracy, its goal to assassinate Adolf Hitler. If the OSS can use his knowledge and connections to nudge that plot along even just a little bit – they may be able to end this war right now. But Frade is not the only one who knows about the Froggers. A troop of Germans and Argentinians, led by a Colonel Juan Peron, is on its way to kill the parents and, after them, the Germans are after Frade himself.

In France, the Allies must find a way to branch the seemingly impregnable German submarine pans at Saint-Lazare. The only hope? An experimental, pilotless flying bomb.

Špionážní román zasazený do prostředí nejvyšších argentinských kruhů za druhé světové války. Argentina jako neutrální mocnost částečně inklinující k Ose jevila se Němcům v dobách pochmurných vyhlídek blížícího se konce války jako ideální místo k vybudování únikového zázemí nacistických prominentů. Jejich snahy se snaží zneutralizovat trojice hrdinů, mající život komplikovaný bojem s mocným nepřítelem, jakož i všeobecně nepřehlednou politickou situací, která sama o sobě činí z Buenos Aires velmi nebezpečné místo... Autor věnuje značné úsilí situačním popisům, pohříchu často nezáživným, a k vytvoření napínavé zápletky, která by čtenáře opravdu vtáhla do děje, mu jaksi nezbyly síly. K rozpačitému vyznění knihy přispívá i poněkud tuhý jazyk překladatelův.

Pokud už autora napadne zápletka, dokáže jí - všechna čest - využít opravdu důkladně a rozvinout do všech myslitelných rovin. Téma nacistických špionážních rejdů v rádoby neutrální Argentině se vyznačuje všemi znaky autorské dílny rutinérského suveréna. Náročnějšího čtenáře těžko uspokojí vršení nových a stále méně věrohodných situací, obtížně, ale vytrvale balancujících na úzké hraně původní dějové linky, či nulová plastičnost postav, nicméně hlavní pisatelův cíl - plodit stále další a další pokračování, mu nedovoluje zabývat se "podružnostmi". Styl tohoto zkušeného vypravěče je ovšem natolik vypracovaný, že tuto hru na dobrodružství může přijmout opravdu každý, kdo je ochoten přistoupit na tvrdá pravidla, to jest mimo jiné nezabývat se kvalitou překladu. Třetí svazek série "Čest a sláva" se opět odehrává za druhé světové války převážně v Argentině.

Závěrečný díl volné tetralogie "Muži ve válce" graduje dobrodružství amerických agentů ve 2. světové válce.

Rozhodnutí, učiněná v několika sekundách, mohou zachránit nebo zmařit miliony životů na frontách i v zázemí. Ruka americké spravedlnosti dosáhne nejen do Tichomoří, oblasti nejvlastnějších zájmů USA, ale i do střední Evropy, kde je ve hře osud vědce, schopného vyvinout atomovou bombu...

Román z volného cyklu Muži ve válce vykresluje jednu z operací americké špionážní služby. Setkáváme se zde znovu s pilotem Richardem Canidym, který spolupracuje s americkou špionážní organizací a pomáhá jí propašovat z Belgického Konga tajnou dodávku, uranovou rudu na výrobu atomové pumy.

Román o americké špionážní službě a její činnosti v průběhu 2. světové války je částí volného cyklu Muži ve válce.

Američtí špioni nejenže dokážou bravurně vybruslit z nepředstavitelných nebezpečí, ale přitom si najdou čas i navazovat milostné kontakty, jak se sluší na správné agenty.

Wolle a ostatní kolegové jsou šokováni a chtějí vraha za každou cenu najít. Oddělení vražd každý případ řeší se stejnou vážností, ale vraždu policisty vnímají hůř. Kdyby nebyla potrestána vražda toho, kdo chrání zákon, zločinci by neměli respekt už před ničím. Autor zde představuje společnost mužů a žen, kteří pracují u policie. Jejich soukromý život, starosti a především to, jaký vliv na vše kolem nich má jejich práce.

Für Matt Payne von der Mordkommission des Philadelphia Police Department kommt es knüppeldick. Drei Fälle auf einmal soll er klären. Eine Schießerei in einem Restaurant scheint eine einfache Sache zu sein, wird jedoch plötzlich höllisch verwickelt. Der zweite Fall, eine Vergewaltigung mit Todesfolge, beginnt bereits verwickelt und wird ständig komplizierter. Der dritte Fall ist der bizarrste: Ein Mörder, der den mumifizierten Leichnam seiner Freundin in einem Koffer zurückgelassen hat, schickt von seinem sicheren Fluchtort aus höhnische Postkartengrüße. Und dann treten auch noch zwei ganz und gar unterschiedliche Frauen in Matts Leben, von denen eine schon genügt hätte, sein Seelenleben völlig durcheinander zu bringen...

Im Herbst 1950 kämpft das amerikanische Marine-Corps in Südkorea gegen chinesische Truppen. Trotz der Überlegungen zu einem Rückzug gibt es in der amerikanischen Politik andere Pläne, die von den Soldaten an der Front das Unmögliche verlangen.
