Summary

When a beautiful woman appears at his door in December 1941, Detective Tom Hale thinks he is in for a treat. What ensues, however, is a rat race of murder, espionage, and international warfare on a level this hard-boiled detective never thought he would see.Hale finds himself hassled by the San Francisco Police, Naval Intelligence and the FBI. Most troubling of all, there is someone in the shadows driving the case's twists and turns. The mystery man seems to always be one step ahead of the others - killing people on a whim. Thus begins a deadly case, just days before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hale discovers the connection to it all - one that ties the deaths and disappearances to the suspicious demise of Hector Bywater, a British journalist and spy during World War I and one of the world's most expert naval war strategists. Unfortunately, Bywater died with the terrible secrets he learned about Japan's ultimate weapon.As this complex brew comes to a head, Hale races to expose the mastermind killer's identity.
