The best kept secret in South America
Paris, 1953. Gilles Duval is a gifted linguist with no taste for diplomacy and no interest in his family's fading industrial empire. When a CIA recruiter offers him a covert assignment tracking a fugitive Nazi scientist through South America, Gilles trades comfort for shadows.
From the cafés of postwar Paris to the misty peaks of the Andes, he is drawn into a web of Cold War intrigue where exiled war criminals, Soviet agents and rogue scientists race for weaponised secrets. Deep inside a German colony hidden in Argentina, he must balance deception with survival, and decide what justice means when the past refuses to stay buried.
A twelve-book journey through the hidden history of the Cold War in Latin America, 1953 to 1965, following the linguist and reluctant agent Gilles Duval.
Gilles begins his career hunting Nazi war criminals across Argentina, Guatemala and Cuba.
