October, 1948. Former OSS agent Hal Schroeder is back polishing his bar stool at The Harbor Inn in Cleveland when he gets a surprise invitation from Frank Wisner, who heads the CIA's new covert ops division. Hal is whisked off to Wisner's Maryland shore retreat and introduced to a brace of Romanian royals, including the scarily beautiful Princess Stela Varadja, a direct descendant of Vlad Tepes Draculea. Then Wisner pops the question. Would Hal consider parachuting into a remote mountain camp to meet with the leader of a group of Romanian anti-Communist guerrillas? Hal has already survived two previous suicide missions and a third does not appeal. 'But I told Frank Wisner I would need a few days to think it over. I had some D.C. sightseeing to do.' As it turns out Hal Schroeder gets to do a lot more sightseeing than he bargained for. A journey that brings the American Spy Trilogy to a surprising conclusion.
