Double Euchre - Paperback

At once a Cold War spy novel, a tragic romance, and a murder mystery, DOUBLE EUCHRE twists and turns all the way to its shocking ending.Eyes open or shut, Tom still can see Peter and his fateful lover, Katja, exactly how they looked fifteen years ago. How improbable that the two should ever meet, much less, fall in love. They never would have, if in 1968 Tom and Peter hadn't dodged the draft and thus combat in the Vietnam War by enlisting in the Army to become linguists. After a year-long Russian course at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, they are sent on a top-secret mission along the Iron Curtain to eavesdrop on Soviet military forces in East Germany. What a blunder to believe this assignment was their good fortune.
