Sam Abel has always been good at hiding—but he’s been found. A mysterious man who knows a surprisingly great deal about Sam’s true past corners him with a request that’s really a threat: launch a reconnaissance mission to obtain information about the business dealings of American tycoons meeting with a German official. In return, Sam is promised both his freedom and a new, clean identity.
As the threat of war approaches America’s shores, the mysterious man—only identified by his battle-scarred face—suspects that Germany is recruiting foreign industrialists. Intel points to a meeting regarding a very dangerous project—one that could turn the tide of the Second World War. A private meeting of powerful men has been set deep in the woods of Upstate New York at a Prohibition-era liquor smuggling lodge known as The Whispering Oak.
Sam’s particular brand of espionage skills will come in handy. He must penetrate The Whispering Oak and discover the nature of the meeting. If he is successful, he could finally have the quiet life he seeks, but if he is caught, his recruiters will disavow all knowledge of him, and worse still, his targets will kill him. Armed with only a knife, first aid kit, and radio, Sam sets off into the night to discover just what exactly the rendezvous entails—before it’s too late.
