In this next engrossing thriller in the John Rossett series set in post-WWII England, the detective confronts a rogue Nazi officer hell-bent on murder as the German occupation begins to falter Working with the SS in German-occupied Britain was never easy for John Rossett. Though he has returned to his former job chasing criminals on the streets of London, the police inspector has been tainted by his Nazi associations. But the Germans aren't done with Rossett yet. When a decorated SS captain kills the U.S. consul in Liverpool, then goes on the run, the German head of police orders Rossett to find the missing soldier and bring him in at any cost. Karl Bauer is a swift, cunning, and ruthless man known as ?the Bear,? and it will take all Rossett's skill to capture him alive. While the Nazis still maintain a stranglehold in London, other parts of England are starting to slip through their grasp, and Liverpool is controlled by criminal networks and the fractured British resistance. A wasteland of burned-out buildings and mountains of rubble, it's the perfect place for a clever warrior like Bauer to hide. Rossett's search also turns up damning new information: Bauer's superior, Major Theo Dannecker, had been colluding with the U.S. consul and the British resistance to smuggle large amounts of gold out of the country. But now the gold is missing, and the Germans, the British, and others who have discovered its existence will stop at nothing to recover it. As for the Bear, the fervent SS officer has repudiated his allegiance to the crumbling Reich and is now focused on destroying Rossett, the famed ?British Lion,? one innocent victim at a time. To prevent more deaths and protect what's left of Britain, Rossett must trap the Bear and uncover the diabolical conspiracy that has brought Nazi officers and the British resistance together. Vivid and energetic, full of Schumacher's trademark action and rich, conflicted characters, An Army of One reveals how the strength of one man can turn the tide in an uncertain world.
