The Nostradamus Traitor #01: A widow’s plea sucks a spy into the web of a decades-old plot against the Third Reich
Though she approaches the guard at the Tower of London like any other tourist, Frau Fenderman’s question does not concern the crown jewels. She wants to know where her husband, a Nazi spy captured in 1941, was executed and buried. The inquiry is passed on to Big Herbie Kruger, an aging spy who is smart enough to know that, three decades after war’s end, the darkest secrets are yet to be told. A massive man whose heavy features obscure a nimble intelligence, Kruger loves drink, Mahler, and espionage. Digging into Fenderman’s story, he uncovers a staggering plot against the life of one of Hitler’s right-hand men—a scheme whose failure nearly lost England the war. As he uncovers more about this forgotten operation, Kruger finds that the oldest secrets are sometimes the most lethal.
The Garden of Weapons #02: A shocking defection draws Herbie back to the most treacherous city on earth: Berlin
The younger British spies think of Big Herbie Kruger as a middle-aged relic from the early days of the Cold War. Only a few people know that Kruger is one of England’s most important agents—a quick-witted devil with more power than anyone knows. In 1955, Kruger established a German intelligence network with an unparalleled reach into the Soviet Union. Years later, he feels a twinge of sadness when he learns that his old KGB rival has run afoul of state security, and been forced to take his own life. But Kruger doesn’t count on the dead man’s lieutenant. Rather than face Moscow’s wrath, the Russian defects into Kruger’s hands—a bit of good fortune that soon calls up all sorts of old ghosts. In Berlin, the divided city, Herbie Kruger is about to be split in half.
The Quiet Dogs #03: As the KGB closes in, Kruger will do anything to save his most important agent
Though he may look oafish, Big Herbie Kruger is one of Her Majesty’s finest, and it takes a stroke of genius for the KGB to capture him. When all appears lost, he escapes and returns to England, but finds that though he survived the ordeal, his reputation didn’t. His old colleagues fear he has been compromised, and an agent under suspicion is no agent at all. Given a desk job out of courtesy, Kruger soon finds a way to escape the office. In Moscow, the agent who captured him is circling around one of Kruger’s greatest informants—the high-level spy who leads the dissident group known as “the quiet dogs.” After a year out of the game, Big Herbie is about to be given one last throw of the dice.
