Ambrose Lincoln is one of the government’s prized operatives, a trained assassin, a man whose past is continually erased by mind control tactic and shock treatments. His days have no meaning. He no longer fears death. As far as he is concerned, a man without a memory is a man who’s already dead. From Germany come rumors of a mad man threatening to rule Europe and maybe the world. On the Night of Broken Glass, his browns shirts and storm troopers move into Baden-Baden and begin their methodical termination of the Jews. In America, so far away, the violence is nothing more than a protest over a Jewish boy who murdered a German diplomat because the Third Reich had removed and maybe killed his family. It was simply a case of vandalism that got out of hand. No one is concerned, and the American government wants to keep it that way. No one in Washington wants to go to war with Hitler, and President Roosevelt continues to preach neutrality. But word is leaked that one Jewish photographer took pictures of the rampage of brutality and murder that night. He was killed, but his daughter is in hiding with the film. Ambrose Lincoln is dispatched to Baden-Baden with one charge. Find the film and bring it back. It will tell the truth. It will uncover the lies. The photographs will reveal to the world the sadistic threat that exists for everyone if Hitler’s mad march isn’t stopped. His mission is to uncover the deadly secrets that his own government doesn’t want him to find, secrets that can change history.

A sign of quality in fiction that has never let me down is simply the three words, "by Caleb Pirtle"The man is a master storyteller, an artisan in a profession that used to have many and unfortunately, today, has very few.Secrets of the Dead is one of his best, but then, every book he has ever written is "one of his best."Without spoiling the story, I'll simply say two things about this novel:1. If you've never read Caleb Pirtle, this is a grand place to start.2. If you are a Caleb Pirtle fan, as I am, here's another in his unbroken string of winners.Enjoy.

La Vigne Caleb Pirtle III has painted a picture of what could have happened on both sides of the Atlantic in the years just prior to Hitler's march into eastern European countries. Throughout his story, he uses neutral colors of gray, white, black, pale, ashen to help define the oppression of the Nazi movement, especially against the Jewish population in Baden-Baden, Germany. He describes the horror of Kristalnacht, or as it's called in the book, Night of Broken Glass. The story progresses through settings in Dallas, Baden-Baden, and Washington, D.C. At the crux of the story are five undeveloped rolls of film. During the Nazi terrorism on the Night of Broken Glass, businesses not only had their storefront windows smashed, but young men were dragged off not to be seen again, old people tortured and killed, young women raped, and children left to fend for themselves. Benjamin Gruner, a local photographer, was determined that the world would see what was happening. He took his camera, hid where he could, and began taking pictures of as much of the action as time would allow. His daughter, Rachel, confiscated the rolls of film after her father died. Ambrose Lincoln and Rachel have a mission--to make sure the film never falls into enemy hands, but finds its way to America and publication in the news. The reason? To refute the political propaganda being foisted on the world outside of Germany. The author takes the reader on a powerful journey of suspense as Ambrose and Rachel spend their nights trying to escape the death hunt of Nazi soldiers. They meet people Rachel has known from childhood in her Jewish community that can or cannot be trusted to help them. They learn that fabricating their stories is the only life-saving way to survive.. Even the weapons they carry hidden on their person are no guarantee for safety. On the other side of the Atlantic, we meet Atticus Chandler, an unpaid advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt. Atticus has business interests in Germany which would cost him millions of dollars if the films are developed and land in the American press. Neither the President nor Atticus want the United States to go to war with Germany, and do what they can to avoid a breakdown that could lead them right into Hitler's fight. The question the reader asks is what happened to the rolls of film? Caleb Pirtle gives us a powerful story as he develops a sequence of events that lead to an ending totally unimagined. His effective use of dialogue, its clipped sentence structure, his vivid description of each character, surpass the reader's imagination. Through it all, he makes the reader wonder who owns the harsh, brittle voice that Ambrose hears in his mind throughout the book?There is periodically the ray of hope shining throughout that can be symbolized by the author's use of moonlight breaking through the black night of clouds. The ray may be bright or it may be a sliver of light. And Ambrose periodically has a vision of a woman-ghostly though she may be, but his strength to continue in his quest comes through the words she speaks to him.Secrets of the Dead will bring a tear to the eye, tension to the nerves, and hope in the heart of the reader.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. the first chapter hooks the reader By Gisela Hausmann It was the first chapter of "Secrets of the Dead (Man with a Mission)", which drew me in. The reader gets introduced to the novel's main character Ambrose Lincoln, who at that moment attends his beautiful young wife's funeral. That alone would be tragic; what creates suspense is that Ambrose does not know how she died. He also does not ask. By the time we find out that he cannot remember ever having met his parents we want to know: What is Ambrose's secret?Ambrose is an assassin, and that is all his life revolves around. He is a perfect tool for his employers; he cannot remember too much from his prior life. When memories come up, he cannot remember to which phase of his life they belong. Methodically he follows instructions. He does not ask any questions. Then again, assassins never do. The ones, who ask a question find out that they asked one question too many.The book's story retells the historic events of the Reichkristallnacht. A photographer has managed to take pictures depicting the horrors the Jewish population experiences. If the pictures surface the money wheeling and dealings of major power players will be threatened. Ambrose Lincoln is supposed to solve the latter's problems.As a history buff I appreciated the fine presentation of the historic events, as a fan of spy novels I had met some of Pirtle's characters before, the long-legged blonde, the sarcastic evaluator, the deadly sniper, but Pirtle's writing style and rhythm were new and fascinating. This author reminds us of things we already knew, only we never thought about them this way. His language is enticing:*"His head throbbed. A sharp pain cut into his chest. Indigestion, he thought. It couldn't be his heart. Atticus laughed. He didn't have a heart. That's what his enemies said anyway."*"She smiled. On the list of things she did best, the smile was third."*"He knew which hands to shake. He knew which cheeks to kiss. He knew the names of the big money boys. It was his job to know where they kept their skeletons and the deadliest of their dark secrets. Some he had personally removed and hidden for them. Atticus Chandler never dug any graves, but he chose the cemeteries."*Highly recommended to history buffs, spy novel fans, and crossword puzzle solvers. "Secrets of the Dead (Man with a Mission)" is a fabulous read.Gisela Hausmann - blogger & author
