Weeks before Pearl Harbor propelled the United States into World War Two.\u003cbr\u003e   A French Vichy gold bullion exchange for mercury, vital to the Nipponese war machine, would be a two-edged sword. The Axis powers could build bombs and bullets, while denying scarce material to America and its Allies. The Count would get his estates back from the Communists while his profiteering cronies would have access to raw materials and slave labor.\u003cbr\u003e   Their plan called for the bullion and mercury to be exchanged at Jekyll Island between a yacht, owned by the count's American wife, and a mysterious merchant submarine built by Germany, missing since the Great 1914-18 War.\u003cbr\u003e   But, nothing is sure in love, war – or “Murphy's Law”.. \u003cbr\u003e   A Royal Navy hero, a feisty and much-married American dancer and matron, an irascible Georgia sheriff, an over the hill Coast Guard Captain, the FBI, a poacher and staff of The Club, all join forces to thwart the best laid plans of the “Master Race”.\u003cbr\u003e   Some critics of “The Jekyll Island Enigma” have claimed there are to many characters to keep track of, while others grouse it needs a prequel and\/or sequel.\u003cbr\u003e   Guess what?","brand":"Old Book Shop Publication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120228417776,"sku":"9780938673019","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780938673019_p0.jpg?v=1763868270","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780938673019","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
