The Bormann Testament
Special Agent Paul Chavasee is about to start a much-deserved holiday when he is abruptly pulled back to active duty. He knows that if he's being called into action, a job has gone bad--and it's about to get a lot worse. As Hitler's private secretary--and an influential member of the Third Reich--Martin Bormann was one of those rare Nazis who managed to simply disappear at the end of World War II. But the terrible secrets Bormann carried into oblivion are about to be revealed to the world. A manuscript that exposes former Nazis, who are now in hiding, is up for grabs, and there are those in power who have much to lose with its discovery. Now, Chavasse must retrieve the Bormann testament before it is buried forever--and him along with it.... Year of the Tiger
In 1959, agents acting for British Intelligence mastermind the famous escape of the Dalai Lama from Tibet.

Paul Chavasse is persuaded to return because he is the only man who knows about Tibet. Knows about the evil its oppressors are capable of.

Not when your soul is almost destroyed by a cruel and vicious captor. And not when your heart is in thrall to the beautiful women who may aid your betrayal....
