"Noel Hynd knows the ins and outs of Washington's agencies, both public and private." - Publishers Weekly."(Hynd is)...a few notches above the Ludlums and Clancys of the world." - Booklist. 'Eisenhower's Spy' is Noel Hynd's tough hard-hitting sequel to 'Truman's Spy'. It is a major new work of action and espionage from the author of 'Flowers From Berlin' and 'Return to Berlin.' It is late in the second term of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ike personally enlists F.B.I. Special Agent Thomas Buchanan (the central character of Hynd's 'Truman's Spy') for a top secret assignment independent of the FBI and CIA.To some, America of the 1950's was a bright, optimistic and prosperous place. But in 'Eisenhower's Spy' a deeper reality smolders beneath the surface. The decade had begun with two wars: a bloody conflict in Korea that stalemated in 1953 and a global cold war that would intensify through the decade. Berlin, Madrid and Havana were flash points of conflict and potential sparks for another world war. Revolutionary ferment was as close as ninety miles south of Florida as Fidel Castro's revolutionary army crept increasingly closer to mobbed-up Havana. 'Eisenhower's Spy' is a spy story that buzzes with the energy of numerous intrigues, love affairs, memorable characters, remorseless criminality and quirks of fate set across a dark set of years in the middle of the Twentieth Century. 'Eisenhower's Spy' will underscore the critics' lofty assessment of Noel Hynd's unique way with a tough hard-hitting spy novel: a full cast of memorable people, romance, uncompromising historical accuracy and heart pounding suspense. The millions of readers of Noel Hynd's previous novels will not be disappointed.
