Publisher's summary

Autumn 1943. American agent David Spaulding is among the global espionage elite who have converged on Buenos Aires. His top-secret mission can bring World War II to an explosive end. But what happens in this city of assassins, betrayals, and sensual encounters is the most sinister and terrifying deal ever made between two nations. Intense, high-level covert negotiations will soon bear dangerous fruit with the aid of expatriate German industrialist Erich Rhinemann. But suddenly the game changes, and Spaulding is the man caught in the middle. Struggling furiously to save his sanity, the woman he loves, and his very life, Spaulding might be the only one who can rescue the world from a shattering fate.

The Rhinemann Exchange - WWII novel

I like Grover Gardner as the narrator. An interesting, if not suspicious take on WWII dealings between the Axis and Allied powers.

Entertaining

The start was a bit tedious, but also necessary to the plot, but once you get through that its totally engrossing and well written.

not great

Disappointed in this compared to other Ludlum books I've read. No surprise, no mystery, just nothing to get excited about. Ending was just as expected.
