Charles Ritter is on the track of the scoop of the year. Or the decade. Or perhaps even the century... The year is 1967. Charles Ritter is an ordinary journalist, filing everyday stories. On an assignment in Ireland, an elderly German doctor helps him with his migraines. But Doctor Theodore Morell is not what he appears. He is a man with a past - and a man with a secret. He was Hitler's personal physician during the last days of the war. From his bunker in Berlin, Hitler masterminded one final conspiracy. And Ritter is about to find out how World War Two really ended. But as he gets closer to the shattering truth, the intelligence agencies of three great powers are alerted to his pursuit of the story. So far as they are concerned, Hitler met his death in 1945. And anyone who thinks otherwise must be eliminated. In a breathless chase, Ritter must prove his story... or die trying.

Operation Firedog (Yeoman Series Book 9) by Robert Jackson (Lume Books) (489 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

The Second World War is over, but not for everyone... Veteran Wing Commander George Yeoman is still flying Spitfires. Yeoman and his men are working with the Malayan government to fight the Malayan Communist Party. It is a brutal guerrilla war, right in the heart of the jungle. After a carefully calculated sequence of bloody murders -- British policemen and planters, their wives and children -- the government of Malaya can no longer avoid open conflict with the Malayan Communist Party, whose strength lies in its guerrilla regiments operating from deep within the jungle. A state of emergency is declared and British reinforcements are flown in overnight. War veteran Wing Commander George Yeoman is one of those hardened fighter pilots posted to Kota Balang to command a tactical air support wing of Beaufighters and Spitfires. Their task is to draw the guerrillas out of their impenetrable cover and eradicate them before the whole country is subject to their ruthless terrorism. Operating in tandem with the highly trained Ferret Force, an army unit skilled in jungle warfare, the RAF have little time to acclimatize themselves before the first Communist offensive takes place in their zone. In their own terrain the guerrillas are unbeatable, and those who fall into their hands can expect no mercy. Yeoman and his team quickly discover that their action is every bit as dangerous -- and important -- as any of the great battles of the Second World War. For the man with the sword, the man known only as Yoke, the war isn't over either and he will make the British pay for what they've done, to him and to his country.
