{"product_id":"9780989851336","title":"Goering's Gold","description":"In 1934 Hermann Goering was flying high as the Nazis came to power. Knowing Hitler's radical plans were a gamble, he smuggled a nest egg of three tons of gold to America, embedded in hydroelectric pipe destined for a project in the Pacific Northwest.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Third Reich fell in 1945, the Russians seized Goering's papers and put them in storage, where they remained until a former KGB officer rediscovered them during a routine audit in 2001. In that same year, America's finest assassin, Jerry Dearborn, was lost when a Cuban MiG jet shot down his jet over the Caribbean. A dead Jerry became a convenient scapegoat for U.S. embarrassment over a botched assassination on the Yucatan Peninsula. What the government's covert assassination squad-the Foreign Intervention Coordination Office (FICO)-didn't know was that Jerry was not on that jet.\u003cbr\u003eNow in hiding, and encamped near the same hydro project where Goering's pipes were installed, Jerry is involuntarily drawn into a struggle between forces seeking the lost gold. If FICO learns he still lives, Jerry's days will be numbered.\u003cbr\u003eStan Morse is a lawyer, author, keynote speaker and motivational presenter for kids, living in Washington State. The inspiration for Goering's Gold came from his discovery in 1976 of swastikas cast into pipes at a local hydroelectric plant. The novel's cover was created from an actual photograph of one such pipe. This story, unlike the photo, is pure fiction.\u003cbr\u003eMaybe . . .","brand":"Stan Morse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021147193584,"sku":"9780989851336","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780989851336_p0.jpg?v=1763894739","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780989851336","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
