Ambrose Lincoln is one of the government’s prized operatives, a trained assassin, a man whose past is continually erased by mind control tactic and shock treatments.
His days have no meaning. He no longer fears death. As far as he is concerned, a man without a memory is a man who’s already dead.
From Germany come rumors of a mad man threatening to rule Europe and maybe the world. On the Night of Broken Glass, his browns shirts and storm troopers move into Baden-Baden and begin their methodical termination of the Jews.
In America, so far away, the violence is nothing more than a protest over a Jewish boy who murdered a German diplomat because the Third Reich had removed and maybe killed his family. It was simply a case of vandalism that got out of hand. No one is concerned, and the American government wants to keep it that way. No one in Washington wants to go to war with Hitler, and President Roosevelt continues to preach neutrality.
But word is leaked that one Jewish photographer took pictures of the rampage of brutality and murder that night. He was killed, but his daughter is in hiding with the film. Ambrose Lincoln is dispatched to Baden-Baden with one charge. Find the film and bring it back. It will tell the truth. It will uncover the lies. The photographs will reveal to the world the sadistic threat that exists for everyone if Hitler’s mad march isn’t stopped. His mission is to uncover the deadly secrets that his own government doesn’t want him to find, secrets that can change history.

Amazon Review:
Caleb Pirtle’s Secrets of the Dead offers every element you want in a thriller. There is espionage involved with those early days of hostilities in Germany that led to World War II. It is full of suspense.
It is a wild thrill ride. It even has a touch of romance between a tormented American operative and a Jewish girl on the brink of forever losing her way of life. Nothing in the story is ever as it seems. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you realize you don’t. The plot takes another turn that you didn’t see coming. Ambrose Lincoln is on a mission.
Those in Germany want to kill him. And back home, the government wants him dead. He has no idea who his friends are and has doubts that he even has any friends. There are some novels that are unforgettable. This is one of them.
