Plot Summary of The Twilight War
"Knowing too much, and being an ex-double agent have one thing in common: death! And death is what the former Czech double-agent received in his last hiding place: Guatemala. But by whom? His former case officer, Daniel Robinson, aims to find out. He travels incognito to Europe to develop leads. He then heads off to Guatemala to unveil new leads. The CIA isn't concerned about Lhota's death, but Robinson is more loyal than his employer. According to the CIA psychologist, Robinson's hiding something. A Nazi past is revealed in the first person in a diary that's left with Lhota's family. "
F. Scott Sinclair, Resident Scholar
