In the summer of 1945, fourteen Nazi POWs were hanged in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for having murdered their fellow inmates.
Mindful of this historical truth, please meet Fritz Graf, a bright, resourceful POW from rommel's Afrika Korps, who more than welcomes the novel whiff of American freedom. Watch this former orphan and gifted poser escape a Nazi-infested POW camp and leapfrog into a colorful, yet utterly corrupt Mexico. Actually, he is well within reach of fulfilling his dream of starting a new, independent life - including the promise of a passionate love relationship - when all is shattered by the scourge of the FBI and the Mexican police.
The big questions are:
How can he survive the ensuing cat and mouse game? Avoid Mexican prisons and American gallows? And finally, how can he bear the gall of adversity without cracking up?
