    About this series

    An FBI agent must stop a Nazi spy from stealing America’s nuclear secrets in this WWII historical thriller by the author of Fear Itself.
     
    Chicago, 1942. As World War II rages overseas, special agent Jimmy Nessheim has asked for extended leave from the FBI. Becoming a law student at the University of Chicago seems like the perfect way to re-enter civilian life. But the school is home to more than an erstwhile FBI agent. Deep under the stands at Staff Field, renowned scientist Enrico Fermi is beginning work on what will become known as the Manhattan Project—nuclear research that could not only change the course of the war, but the face of war itself. When the White House learns that a Nazi agent may have infiltrated Fermi’s staff, Nesshiem is perfectly placed to assist.
     
    Persuaded to return to duty, Nessheim is on the hunt for a traitor who may already have access to the most important military secrets of the twentieth century. Almost simultaneously, Nessheim’s old flame Madison has found him in Chicago. But is her reappearance a coincidence? Drawn once again into a web of international intrigue, Nessheim faces his most deadly threat yet.

      A homegrown Nazi conspiracy threatens to destroy America in this historical FBI thriller: “A stirring successor to Frederick Forsyth” (The Independent).   Washington, DC, 1940. Jimmy Nessheim, a young special agent in the fledgling FBI, is assigned to infiltrate a new German American organization known as the Bund. Ardently pro-Nazi, the Bund is conspiring to sabotage American efforts against Adolf Hitler. But Nessheim’s investigation soon uncovers something far more sinister—and it leads directly to the White House. Drawn into the rarified world of Washington’s high society, Nessheim is caught in a web of political intrigue, secret lives, and a lethal plot that could rewrite history.   With sharp wit and a keen eye for period detail, author Andrew Rosenheim brings to life an America at the crucial period before it entered World War II. He seamlessly weaves into the narrative larger-than-life figures such as J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, and Lucy Mercer Rutherford, as well as historical events like the 1939 pro-Nazi rally held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
