At the conclusion of World War II, a few top ex-Nazi leaders escaped the Allied nets in Europe and were now living in various South American cities. International police efforts to identify and capture these criminals had been unsuccessful. The government was in desperate need of a new path forward.

Three former friends and recent European emigres to the United States had, totally unknown to each other, found a home in the US after the war. None knew that the others had even survived the war. Each had their own reasons to keep a low profile with the US authorities amid the commie scare of the 1950s, and all three were on shaky immigration ground.

If they could find each other again, and if they could help each other find a path forward, they just might get through their problems. In a curious turn of events, the three became intertwined with the international search for the missing Nazi criminals. Success in capturing the Nazi criminals would rest with the trio’s unique war-time experiences… experiences they had never shared with anyone… Until now.

Lawrence Christensen is a retired corporate level negotiator with three decades of experience in government sales. He holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Union College, a master’s degree in mathematics from Rochester Institute of Technology, and post-graduate certificates from George Washington University and American Graduate University. He has held positions in industry as an engineer and as a negotiator for the sales of military products. Mr. Christensen has authored two earlier books on technical topics and has taught mathematics as an adjunct college professor. In retirement, he currently mentors young entrepreneurs who are starting their own businesses, teaching them the basic principles of running a commercial business. In doing so, Mr. Christensen continues his interest in helping others to think more rationally and scientifically, and to apply these principles for improvement of their lives.

As the son of an immigrant, he has recently turned his attention to storytelling with the intent of creating a better understanding of our long history as a country of immigrants and their contributions to technological advancement. This book is intended to give a glimpse into the history of the 1950s United States and what might have been happening behind the scenes to create the world we have inherited. The book is also about how immigrants have, and always will, shape the country that we are to become.

Mr. Christensen lives in upstate New York with his loving wife, Dianne. He has raised three wonderful children who are now successfully raising their own children in a world of instant communications and information, quite unlike the world depicted in this novel.
