What happens when hunting Nazi war criminals becomes a race between superpowers and your own survival depends on who reaches them first?
Paris, 1953. Gilles Duval's comfortable future shatters when a mysterious American recruits him for what seems like justice: track down Klaus Werner, an SS rocket scientist hiding in Argentina. But in the shadowy aftermath of World War II, nothing is as simple as right versus wrong.
The Mission: Find Werner before Soviet agents do.
The Stakes: Advanced weapons technology that could shift the Cold War.
The Problem: In Argentina's Nazi haven, everyone has secrets worth killing for
From Parisian cafés to the German communities of Bariloche, from ancient Andean ruins to Buenos Aires bustling streets, Gilles navigates a deadly maze of escaped war criminals, competing intelligence agencies, and moral compromises that threaten everything he believes.
As Operation Paperclip races to recruit Nazi scientists for American advantage, Gilles discovers that pursuing justice in the early Cold War means choosing between what's right and what's necessary. When the Soviets close in and Werner's own daughter becomes a wild card, one young operative must decide: How far will you go to bury the ghosts of the Reich?
Set against documented Nazi escape networks and declassified CIA operations, The Reich Ghosted explores the hidden history of post-war espionage with the moral complexity of John le Carré and the historical authenticity of Ken Follett.
