Bantam 1994 0553565028 / 9780553565027 Mass Market Paperback Very Good
0553565028 From Publishers Weekly This espionage thriller by the author of The Assassini portrays an American journalist on a mission to kill German Field Marshall Rommel. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal The author of The Assassini (Bantam, 1990) begins his latest novel in 1940s London with a love triangle that involves internationally renowned journalist Rodger Godwin, who cuckolds his old friend General Max Hood with the decorated hero's wife Cilla, a young actress. At Winston Churchill's request, Hood and Godwin embark on the ill-fated secret mission that gives the novel its title. Their goal is to kill Rommel in North Africa, but the men have been betrayed and fall victim to a Nazi ambush that only Godwin survives. Guilt and revenge drive him to pursue the traitor into a labyrinth of double-dealing. Based on an actual World War II desert mission, the narrative stimulates the reader with illicit romance, adventure, and a suspenseful plot, although some of the flashbacks are rather pedestrian and too long. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/92. --Mary Ellen Elsbernd, Northern Kentucky Univ. Lib., Highland Heights Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
