About this ebook
“A high-impact techno-thriller [that] brings readers into the heart of WWII’s Battle of the Atlantic . . . To Kill the Leopard is a winner.” —Publishers Weekly
The U-boat under Horst Kammerer’s command bears a leopard insignia, and Kammerer is indeed a feral hunter as he torpedoes Sully Jordan’s oil tanker. The merchant marine escapes with his life—only to encounter Kammerer again a month after Pearl Harbor. After Jordan loses yet another ship to the German captain, he boards a Q-ship—a decoy packed with weapons—with the intention of becoming predator instead of prey . . .
“The novel sustains interest from first page to last with an exciting story line that climaxes in an enthralling final duel.” —Publishers Weekly
“Realistic submarine suspense . . . Leaps from scenes aboard a Nazi U-boat to scenes on freighters sailed by American merchant mariner Sully Jordan to scenes in Lorient, France, where the Resistance works against the Occupation.” —Kirkus Reviews
