In 1945, just after the German surrender, Major Kaufmann of G-2 Counterintelligence receives disturbing reports. Aerial bombs are missing from Italy. German POW airmen are being transferred to France for no obvious reason. A fleet of B17s disappears without a trace. When Kaufmann tries to follow up, his contacts are murdered before he can reach them. Then the word comes from Eisenhower’s office: stop Kaufmann—stop him dead. Can Kaufmann evade the traitors, whoever they are, long enough to stop the world from going into a tailspin?

Told with all Jack Hunter’s enormous narrative gifts and proven expertise in military aviation and wartime intelligence, Tailspin is a page-turning thriller of the highest order.
