Fast-forward to World War II where French Resistance heroine Josephine Baker is sent on a harrowing mission through the strategic Canfranc train station in the Pyrenees mountains. Everything appears to go smoothly until she and her partner encounter a cold-blooded German commander with near-psychic investigating powers. Next, a Second World War American airman crosses paths with a Japanese intelligence asset decades after the conflict in the Pacific. Both men have blood on their hands, regret in their hearts and a compelling need to make peace with one another and the past.
In The Company Spy, you will meet the company espionage lackey who upended the lives of countless workers during the Pullman Strike of 1894 and nearly paid the ultimate price for his treachery. Three other short stories from the inkwell of Joseph Collins uncover the little-known role of the Black Florida Seminole natives who migrated to Texas; the Ming Dynasty architect who narrowly escaped death by conceiving a brilliant design for China's Forbidden City; and a tragic tale about Grammy-award winning songbird Dinah Washington. Don't miss this insightfully researched collection of historical fiction stories that will entertain even the most enthusiastic of history buffs.
