Beschreibung
Sicily, December 1943.
The air was thick with the suffocating smoke of exploding gas tanks.
General Patton and his comrades had barely managed to land back on their Sicilian base.
The Italio-German air assault on US forces was ceaseless, shooting half of the bomber group to pieces.
General Patton’s Third Army had been taken away from him on Washington’s orders, and now, Patton is in serious trouble.
An attempt will be made on the General’s life.
They find one suspect shot dead.
In his pocket, a large nickel coin displaying the fascist insignia, ‘Organizzione Vigilanza Repressione Antifascismo’: The Fascist Secret Police Under Mussolini.
Patton’s comrade, Mackenzie, is called to investigate the strange connection between the freshly imported US Mafia and the US Army, but when his own life comes under threat, he realises he knows too much.
Who is after Patton? And Why?
Will Mackenzine sacrifice Patton to save his own neck?
‘Kill Patton’ is an explosive thriller from a master of military fiction.
