The Eagle Scout Picture

Book 1 of the Shadow and Subterfuge Series

When the world plunges into war, a Texas Eagle Scout becomes America's most dangerous secret.

Fred Brown is recruited into a covert U.S. operation that transforms him into the perfect Nazi youth-new name, new past, new loyalties. As Frederich "Zelly" Zellner, he's inserted deep inside Hitler's Germany with one mission: infiltrate the Third Reich from the inside before the United States ever enters the war. But the Nazi regime is a world of paranoia, brutality, and ever-watchful eyes. Zelly must flawlessly play the role of a devoted Hitler Youth while hiding the truth of who he is-and who he serves. When a photograph from his American past mysteriously appears on a Nazi magazine cover, Zelly realizes he's not just a spy in enemy territory... he's a pawn in a much larger game.

Hunted by the Gestapo, manipulated by powerful figures on both sides, and forced to bury every shred of his true identity, Zelly walks a razor's edge where one mistake means execution.

His survival depends on mastering the darkest "subterfuge" of all-becoming the monster he's pretending to be without losing the boy he once was.

The Eagle Scout Picture launches Gary Kidney's Shadow and Subterfuge Series, a gripping blend of historical thriller and espionage noir-perfect for fans of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, The Man in the High Castle, and Operation Mincemeat.
