Tides of Mercy is a razor-edged World War II thriller that hurls readers from the mine-laced waters off Cherbourg to the embattled heart of Paris and deep into the shadows of Soviet espionage. Commander Jonas Pratt, USNR, faces impossible orders: Overcome Nazi torpedo boats and NKVD assassins to rescue a trainload of doomed children from a Vichy transit camp outside occupied Paris. Haunted by the ghosts of his run to Murmansk and tangled in a deadly game of double agents, Pratt’s quick wits and sharper instincts are pushed to the breaking point as he assembles a ragtag strike force of U.S. misfits, French communists, battered Resistance fighters—and one dangerously savvy German POW.
