Set against the background of a deadly undercover war between the Gestapo and Soviet agents during the collapse of the Third Reich, The Expendable Spy is the hair-raising novel of an audacious American who discovered a secret so big and so appalling that his own intelligence office ordered his execution.

Jack D. Hunter has written numerous novels while working as a journalist and serving in military and corporate sectors. Two of his novels were made into motion pictures, and another, The Expendable Spy, was awarded the Edgar Allan Poe Special Award of the Mystery Writers of America. He often bases his novels on his experiences as a U.S. counterintelligence agent in World War II.
