Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Hugh North, D.C.I., arrived at Fort Espato (in English, "Fort Terror") with no thought of treasure or tragedy -- but both awaited him there. An American army port superseded the old ruin now, but when the Spanish controlled the Philippines, it had been an ill-fated and much-used fort. Some legendary menace hung over its somber vaults and passages, but when two men vanished into its depths one evening and did not reappear, North saw only a living hand where others saw inexplicable terror. To track the killer who not only murdered but caused his victims to disappear completely baffled even Captain North, until he found the beads with the markings that did not match, and a bit of paper in a dead man's hand!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bay of Cienfuegos, a little Cuban town, the naked body of a D.C.I. officer was found floating one night. And the next, Captain North of the Army Intelligence was on his way there -- with orders to find the facts. The wolves of the naval powers were already gathering at Cienfuegos around a cashiered American naval officer who had developed a new and mysterious invention. And beside the agents were the great international criminals always drawn by such an affair. The first intimation of the sinister undercurrents North was facing came on the night train in Cuba -- when a drab-looking German was murdered almost before his eyes, with a glass dagger thrust into the heart. At Cienfuegos the real battle began, with danger lurking in the surrounding jungle, and within the house death striking with silent arrows -- so much quieter than automatics, so much easier to use from a distance than knives...

Download or read book Captain Hugh North 01: Seeds of Murder written by Van Wyck Mason and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mr. Wallace was found neatly suspended from a hook in the bathroom ceiling, with a slender chain around his neck and the wastebasket on which he had stood carefully kicked away, there seemed little doubt of it. Especially as there was a note in the dead man's handwriting saying, "I am worried, tired, and sick of heart. Why go on with this senseless struggle? Disgrace faces me." But -- why was the sheet on which the note was written shorter than all the other sheets on the desk? Where had the three seeds that come from that were found near the body, and why should Wallace, partner in a brokerage house, have chosen the beginning of a merry Long Island house party to have committed suicide? Captain North, late of the American Intelligence Service, saw these things, and they puzzled him. Before that dreadful night was over, death struck again, and the terrified house guests knew that in their midst was a killer -- cold blooded, ruthless, efficent -- and always the three white seeds followed in his wake ... a symbol of death!
Book Synopsis American Rivals of James Bond by : Graham Andrews
Download or read book American Rivals of James Bond written by Graham Andrews and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical history of spy fiction, film and television in the United States, with a particular focus on the American fictional spies that rivaled (and were often influenced by) Ian Fleming's James Bond. James Fenimore Cooper's Harvey Birch, based on a real-life counterpart, appeared in his novel The Spy in 1821. While Harvey Birch's British rivals dominated spy fiction from the late 1800s until the mid-1930s, American spy fiction came of age shortly thereafter. The spy boom in novels and films during the 1960s, spearheaded by Bond, heavily influenced the espionage genre in the United States for years to come, including series like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Matt Helm. The author demonstrates that, while American authors currently dominate the international spy fiction market, James Bond has cast a very long shadow, for a very long time.

Book Synopsis The Gracious Lily Affair by : Van Wyck Mason
Download or read book The Gracious Lily Affair written by Van Wyck Mason and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone is plotting the start of World War III. Colonel North sets out to find the mastermind, but United States Intelligence calls him off the case. In spite of the five men mysteriously murdered, the government says there is no proof of the conspiracy. But North knows it is true. And he chooses to pit himself singlehandedly against a vicious ring of spies to prove it! "A Bermuda houseparty loses its gaiety after the ocean races when Col. North is recalled to duty because there seems to be an obtrusion of international throat-cutting (a transfer of submarines), a shifting of gold bars to be delivered, and a to-do in drugs. Dead bodies -- and live and seductive ones too -- are a starter for a race against time which leads to China where major moves by the intrepid Colonel foil a Soviet-Red China combine. At the price a lot for your money with North still in the lead." -- Kirkus Reviews

Notorious for its prisoners' attempted escape through the Faustball Tunnel, Papago POW Camp also had a dark reputation of violence among its prisoners. An unfortunate casualty was Werner Drechsler, who supplied German secrets to U.S. Navy authorities after his capture in 1943. Nazis held there labeled him a traitor and hanged him from a bathroom rafter. Controversy erupted over whether the killing was an act of war or murder, as well as the lack of protection Drechsler received for aiding in espionage. Ultimately, seven POWs were hanged for the crime. Author Jane Eppinga examines the tangled details and implications of America's last mass execution.
