About this book

When the stranger offered 600 marks to do a little job, Kenyon accepted. The guy was a lying rat, but Kenyon needed the money. That little job got him involved in a deadly game of Soviets vs. Nazis, with Soviet military secrets the prize. All set in motion by a cynical force seeking a piece of the Roumanian oil fields, source of the black blood of war.
