The Indomitable Patriot Carl Mclelland

The war is over and the United States is preparing for espionage with it's former ally, the Russians, when a mission comes up and it's assigned to Pinky. President Truman becomes enraged when he discovers Hitler may have escaped to Argentina, secreted aboard U-977. Truman enlists former agents of the OSS in an effort to resolve the rumors. Unlike a James Bond type fantasy thriller, the primary character, former OSS special agent Evelyn "Pinky" Nash creates a Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod (AKA Mata Hari) reality. Pinky and former OSS German double agent Friederich Schickendantz bond in a pseudo-marriage. They overtly honeymoon in Argentina while covertly investigate the claim. Further complicating their extreme deep-cover operation, they are thousands of miles from assistance and must rely upon third-party communications with the USA. In executing the mission, Pinky develops an intimate relationship with her partner. Not until the last page will you know if the mission succeeds, the characters reconnect or have traveled the path of self-destruction.
