Jeannie Loomis Novels, Book 9

De: Gary Rose

Narrado por: Carrie Prun

In this ninth Jeannie Loomis thriller novel, FBI agent Jeannie Loomis and her partner are called to the scene of a double homicide. The victims--mother and daughter--were tortured before their deaths. Loomis realizes that the suspects were seeking information about the location of Hitler’s gold train, a phantom train hidden in a mountain range in Austria by a recently deceased SS officer. The SS officer had maps and a diary pinpointing its exact location. A second search of his residence in San Francisco revealed a hidden room containing gold bars of the Third Reich as well as property belonging to Jews executed in the death camps he was assigned to. Also found was a personal diary that incorporated a code that had to be broken to pinpoint the location of the gold train.

The Organization, an international group of modern-day Nazis, seeks the diary to secure the ill-gotten treasure to finance a new Fourth Reich. Jeannie’s team conducts research about the history of the various concentration and death camps--especially the Mauthausen and Sobibor death camps--in hopes of finding a lead to decipher the code used in the diary. Eventually learning that he used the same technique of writing in code using urine that was used by female inmates at the infamous Ravensbrook camp, Jeannie and her team decipher the code and race to find the phantom train.

With help from teams of Mossad agents and FBI agents in Austria, the tunnel is found containing the train and its treasure. Before it can be secured, the Organization, having a mole in the FBI staff, attempts to secure the train for its own purpose.
