    About this ebook

    Johanna was beautiful, beguiling, cunning ... with a lust for wealth. She sought out the very rich plying the steamship lines from Italy to Argentina.

    Konrad Ackermann was young, naive ... a former captain of the SS who abandoned Berlin as the Russian troops stormed the Führer bunker in April 1948.

    Konrad Ackermann ... who financed his escape with a stash of solid gold coins, the Brotherhood coins minted by Martin Bormann to fund a resurgent German Fourth Reich. How he acquired them not even Colonel Otto Skorzeny knew.

    Konrad Ackermann ... who Gela Pientka identified as the man who murdered Marianne.

    In the chaos of a defeated Germany important people began to die as they sought refuge along the clandestine routes called ratlines between the ruins of Berlin and sanctuary in South America. Rumors spread of a fanatical SS officer, financed by stolen Nazi gold, who hunted those who abandoned their Führer in those dying days.

    Was Konrad Ackermann this officer? Was he still alive?

    The paths of the hunter and the hunted collided at Hotel Lancaster.

    I have coffee most every morning at my "office" - a small table in a 1920s style restaurant and hotel called the Olympic Club in Centralia, Washington. Visitors assume I work there, some think I am the manager. I direct people to the bathrooms - the urinals in this place are a tourist attraction all by themselves. This is where I write. The chaos and atmosphere prep me for the day, and everyone in town knows if you need to talk to me, just drop by the "Oly Club."Most don't know that I have a master's degree in business, and have run my own technology company for nearly twenty of my last forty working years. I won a national championship on horseback, raced sailboats, wrestled octopus, baby-sat a killer whale, and once was a cook on a salmon purse seiner.I have read "A Soldier's Burial' aloud over General Patton's grave in Luxembourg, and said a prayer of thanks at the very spot at Magaret in Belgium where the German panzers were stopped outside Bastogne. I cried on Omaha Beach in Normandy and in the gas chamber at Dachau. I wear a silver Stetson and boots when I travel and answer to "Hey, cowboy!' in several languages.I have led an interesting life - married forty years, have three children, nine grandchildren, and thirty foster children, some with families of their own now. I am now free to pursue my passion for writing - especially about the two great wars of the twentieth century. So I cherish my role as "author-in-residence," or that crazy guy at the table by the urinals - it depends on your perspective.
