can guarantee to make him ‘invisible’.”

“Do I start looking for Müller again?” asked Kelly.

“No” responded McFarlane. “You’re compromised now. He knows you, and he knows you put him in prison. I’ll get someone else involved.” There was a pause, then McFarlane continued, “I think you should find out from Manteufel what he wants. He hinted very heavily that treasure is involved.”

“Would he have that sort of information?” Kelly sounded doubtful.

“He might have,” answered McFarlane. “Did you know he was Stabsfeldwebel in the bunker?”

“Sergeant Major in the Führer’s Bunker?” Kelly exclaimed. “He kept that quiet!”

“Exactly!” said McFarlane. “He’s drip feeding us information a bit at a time, presumably to get the best terms possible.” There was a pause then McFarlane said, “We ought to investigate this, Dan. The main Nazi treasure horde has yet to be recovered. If that’s what he’s hinting at, we’re talking about countless millions, possibly even billions.”

Kelly whistled. “It’s the sort of information he might just have picked up in the bunker. Hmm. Who knows? Do you want me to pick this up, Bob?”

“He’s your man, Dan. Anyway, that’s the good news. The bad news is I’m going to separate you from Billa.”

“What’s new!” responded Kelly, but actually he knew that he and Sybilla had been lucky to have been posted together in Berlin. They were well aware it wouldn’t last. Both were grateful to Bob McFarlane for his consideration.

“I’m sending her after Müller. A contact in France has information that he is headed that way. I think you might know him.”

“Go on.”

“A Priest. Rahn?”

“Wolfgang Rahn?” asked Kelly in astonishment.

“The same,” confirmed McFarlane.

Kelly’s head was spinning, this was incredible.

“Seems this priest continued with his parish after the war, but still remained active for the French security services. Hell of a cover!”

Kelly smiled to himself. After the initial shock, he wasn’t that surprised. There was no way Wolf Rahn could sit back and relax.

“I’ll brief Sybilla in the morning,” continued McFarlane, “but I want you in Plotzensee first thing. Extract any information you can from Manteufel. Promise him the earth if you need to. Follow this up and keep me in the loop.”

“I understand,” said Kelly, feeling the excitement rising within him.

This could be big. Very big!

When MI5 agent Dragan Kelly gets word of a ‘priceless treasure’ heard spoken of by Eva Braun in Hitler’s bunker, he’s certain of one thing.

He must be the one to find it.

Reunited with his team - the enigmatic and unpredictable Sybilla Thorstaadt, and the ‘mad’ priest Wolfgang Rahn - Kelly enlists the help of a tough ex-German paratrooper, Horst Manteufel, the last guard commander in Hitler’s bunker.

As Kelly expects, nothing is straightforward. Every step they take is dogged by the sinister and mysterious Thule secret society. If that wasn’t enough, Gestapo chief Heinrich Müller, the most notorious war criminal still at large, hangs like a shadow of evil over everything.

Then there’s the esoteric, game-playing Vril maiden Maria Orsic. Is she protecting the treasure? What world shattering secret is she hiding?

And what event could possibly be so calamitous that it causes Kelly to have a crisis of conscience that threatens to prevent the successful completion of his mission?

An action packed second world war espionage adventure featuring new hero, Dragan Kelly. If you're a fan of Robert Harris, Ken Follett and Clive Cussler, you won't be able to put down the second in this compulsive historical thriller series.
