Lo-ki (lō´kē). n.
Norse mythology
the god of fire; god of mischief and destruction.
In the middle of a desert, a World War II POW camp harbors a secret: a sleeper agent embedded among combat prisoners receives orders activating him to a daring escape and a mission beyond the prison wire. A mission that, if successful, will deliver Allied Unconditional Surrender to the Third Reich.
Get ready for a WWII thriller unlike any you have ever read. For this prison camp is inside America—Camp Santa Rosa, New Mexico—and this prisoner, Standartenführer Jurgen von Hofmann, is a colonel of the Sicherheitsdienst, the SS Security Service, attached to the Ten Loki: Hitler’s most daring plan against the United States.
There’s just one problem. Von Hofmann and his assault team have escaped into the heart of the American West and have taken a young war widow hostage, and that puts them in the gunsights of recently paroled convict, Tyler Keyes: mistrusted and untested, a cowboy with nothing to lose.
KALEIDOSCOPE does for the CIA what THE SOPRANOS did for the mob... The function and dysfunction of a whole family where the patriarch is ensnared in a dark and dangerous world.

An utterly distinctive voice in spy fiction. Nobody captures espionage quite like Beckner. Cerebral and unvarnished, with dialogue so sharp it's like dancing on hot coals.
