It's September 1931 and the 23-year-old niece of Adolf Hitler lies dead...
Geli Raubal has shot herself with her uncle's gun.
The incident is an embarrassment to Nazi officials, who cover it up as best they can.
But they have left some crucial details behind.
In particular, some believe they have forgotten about the Fuhrer's illegitimate and unacknowledged son.
Decades later and thousands of miles away in Texas, Dan Shears is head-hunted by the CIA.
A psychiatrist by trade, Dan has exactly the skills and talents that the intelligence chiefs need, for they have a very specific job in mind for him.
Although wary at first, Dan soon moves with his young family to Washington, and the CIA sets him to work.
Despatched to Germany, Dan soon finds himself on the trail of Hitler's legacy.
He attends a trade convention at which a would-be Soviet defector is deftly murdered, and so begins a fast-paced, adrenaline-fuelled adventure that takes Dan and his enemies to destinations throughout Cold War Europe.
In time, Dan finds himself working alongside two eccentric but efficient fellow agents and together, they seek the truth in a murky world of murderous ex-Nazis, self-serving criminals, far-right political thugs and the worst of the Soviet system.
Will Dan and his friends find what they seek?
Can it be true that Hitler not only has a son still living, but that he will be asked to take up where the father left off, and set up a Fourth Reich?
The Front Man is a fast-moving, action-packed tale perfect for lovers of crime and war fiction.
