The Ambassador's Son

A Coast Guard Captain and a young JFK embark on a deadly mission in the South Pacific in the #1 New York Times–bestselling author's WWII thriller series. Solomon Islands, 1943. As the Americans are gripping in a bitter war with the Japanese, Lieutenant David Armistead goes missing. Some say the Marine Corps hero—and cousin of President Roosevelt—has gone over to the enemy. Now Coast Guard Captain Josh Thurlow and his ragtag crew are charged with finding him. Recruited in the hunt is a frail PT-boat skipper nicknamed "Shafty", whose given name is John F. Kennedy. When Josh is stranded with a mysterious woman who has a tendency to chop off men's heads, it's up to Kennedy to come to the rescue. Bu to complete the mission, he must win a high-stakes poker game with a young officer who happens to be the best gambler in the South Pacific. That officer's name is Richard M. Nixon. Based solidly on historical fact, The Ambassador's Son is a "tightly wrapped tale of wartime action" (Publishers Weekly).
