As America fights a war overseas, a different kind of battle brews in the heartland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Jones, a meticulous accountant at one of Indianapolis's grandest department stores, expects nothing more dangerous than balancing ledgers. But when a routine audit uncovers irregularities-vast sums siphoned off and hidden behind a false account-he discovers a conspiracy far more sinister than theft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe learns that his employer, Heinrich Dorner, is a Nazi sympathizer. And the stolen money isn't for personal gain-it's financing an assassination plot aimed at a brilliant American scientist working at Harvard's Cruft Laboratory in Cambridge. To buy time, Charles fakes his own death and hides out in an abandoned funeral home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles is joined by unlikely allies: his cousin Ralph, a local funeral director; Arthur, a mild-mannered accountant; the store owner's estranged son, Edward; Hiram Alonzo Boswell, a private investigator from West Point, Indiana; and Ed Halverson, a hard-nosed Indianapolis police sergeant. Together they follow a trail of deception from quiet Midwestern offices to the ivy-covered corridors of Harvard, racing against time to expose the plot before it strikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe closer Charles gets to the truth, the more he realizes that the war's deadliest front may not be in Europe, but right here at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dale Andrew Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798276969220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Dale Andrew Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137291170047,"sku":"9798276969220","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea6bc616-299e-448f-9878-b470d7cd66b3.jpg?v=1770167857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/countdown-to-cambridge-dale-andrew-brown-9798276969220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
