Guarding the Ghost | Cliff St. James
"In late October of 1944, alarms sounded as spotlights and panic spread throughout Camp Clinton, a POW camp in rural Mississippi. After hours of searching, all that remained of the escaped prisoner were the rumors of a missing $500 million fortune and the legacy of the man who became known as Der Geist, or The Ghost. At the height of World War II, the U.S. government had built 500 prisoner of war camps throughout the continental United States to house German and Italian POWs captured by the allies in Europe. In total, these camps held more than 400,000 prisoners. By the end of 1945, all of these prisoners had been returned to their homelands--except for one--The Ghost. Decades later, Frank Arrington decides to honor his aging father by chronicling his WWII memories. He learns that his father was a guard at Camp Clinton around the time of The Ghost's escape. He decides to search the web to learn more. That simple search alerts a lethal international group who has spent decades searching for The Ghost and the missing fortune. With the lives of the Arrington family at risk, Frank is forced into an international nightmare where he becomes the key to finding The Ghost."--P. [4] of cover.
