1. Truman's Spy - (Revised 2020 Edition)
It is early 1950, the midpoint of the Twentieth Century.
Joe McCarthy is cranking up his demagoguery and Joseph Stalin had intensified the cold war. In Washington, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI is fighting a turf war with the newly founded Central Intelligence Agency. Harry Truman is in the White House, trying to keep a lid on domestic and foreign politics, but the crises never stop. It should be a time of peace and prosperity in America, but it is anything but.
FBI agent Thomas Buchanan is assigned to investigate the father of a former fiancée, Ann Garrett, who dumped Buchanan while he was away to World War Two. And suddenly Buchanan finds himself on a worldwide search for both an active Soviet spy and the only woman he ever loved. In the process, he crosses paths with Hoover, Truman, Soviet moles and assassins, an opium kingpin from China, and a brigade of lowlife from the American film community.

2. Eisenhower's Spy - It is the summer of 1958. President Dwight D. Eisenhower personally enlists F.B.I. Special Agent Thomas Buchanan (the central character of Hynd’s 'Truman’s Spy') for a top secret assignment independent of the FBI and CIA. The President asks Buchanan to oversee the investigation of a perplexing murder in broad daylight in Manhattan. The best detectives in New York City cannot pull the case together. Or maybe they don’t want to.
Was the homicide a random slaying, a gangland ‘hit,’ a drug deal gone wrong or a political assassination? And the further question: why is this homicide, which might otherwise be a state or city investigation, the focus of such close White House attention?
Within days of starting his investigation, Buchanan finds himself, his life, his career and the woman he loves in jeopardy. He navigates a lethal web of Russian spies, local hoodlums, political provocateurs from the left and the right, the CIA, rival agents in the FBI, surly New York cops and Caribbean revolutionaries. The case is a nightmare, as are its ramifications. Equally perilous are the gritty gang-controlled urban streets where Buchanan must go to seek answers.
Buchanan soon finds himself working with an unpredictable New York City police lieutenant named Paul Maguire. A beautiful but suspicious young woman named Laura Brookfield filters in and out of the case. Day to day, Laura either aids them or sabotages them. And yet, she may be the key to Buchanan's investigation.
The story twists and turns from New York to Washington to Havana and back again. The case comes in and out of focus like a mirage on a broiling summer afternoon. Buchanan moves from the drug dens of upper Manhattan to the mob nightclubs of midtown to the edgy coffee houses of Greenwich Village. He visits the hot jazz joints of the West Fifties and the corrupt police precincts of the pre-Serpico era.
Questions are many. Answers are few. Buchanan must make his own good luck. Meanwhile, the President is waiting for a report.
To some, America of the 1950’s was a bright, optimistic and prosperous place. But in 'Eisenhower’s Spy' a deeper reality smolders beneath the surface. The decade had begun with two wars: a bloody conflict in Korea that stalemated in 1953 and a global cold war that would intensify through the decade.
Berlin, Budapest and Taiwan were flashpoints of conflict and potential sparks for another world war. Americans passed the decade in fear of Soviet subversion from within or a sudden Soviet nuclear attack from afar. Worse, revolutionary ferment was as close as ninety miles south of Florida as Fidel Castro’s revolutionary army crept increasingly closer to mobbed-up Havana.

3. Kennedy's Spy - It is the midwinter of 1961-62, a decade and a half into the Cold War
Though continents apart, the flashpoints of tension and political intrigue around the world have never been more intense. The stakes have never been higher. Berlin. Havana. Saigon. Moscow. Tel Aviv. Another world war could start in any of these places.
Thomas Buchanan of the FBI has worked on special assignments for two US presidents, Truman and Eisenhower. He is not inclined to work for a third, their successor, John F. Kennedy. Buchanan has nothing against Kennedy, but is not necessarily a supporter, either. If anything, his feelings on JFK are ambivalent, though like most Americans, Buchanan likes the public persona of JFK but was appalled by the Bay of Pigs disaster of 1961. Nonetheless, Buchanan’s intention is to leave government work and apply his investigative skills in the more lucrative and less dangerous private sector.
Then everything changes. Buchanan and his wife Ann are in Nassau on a midwinter holiday of sunshine, indulgence and relaxation when – seemingly by chance – a disreputable old adversary named Jesse Chadwick steps out of the more unpleasant shadows of Tom Buchanan’s past. At first the meeting appears to be a confrontation, a trumped-up reckoning over a long-simmering personal animosity. But Chadwick has a riveting story to tell, one of political intrigue and ill winds blowing in the Caribbean for Kennedy and the United States. It is also a story which conveys danger personally and professionally to Tom and Ann Buchanan in addition to President Kennedy.
Chadwick, as usual, is seeking money. But not as extortion or blackmail. Rather, he wants to sell his covert information to the US government, the CIA, the Department of Defense, the White House or whoever will buy. He demands a huge price and promises a story of American traitors, Soviet moles, and sexual hijinks in inappropriate places by famous people who should have known better.
Buchanan dismisses Chadwick, grudgingly agreeing to convey the request to the American intelligence community in Washington upon his return to the United States. Chadwick gives him a method of contact.
When Buchanan and his wife return to New York, Buchanan reports the meeting to his superiors, hoping the episode will go nowhere. To Buchanan’s astonishment, however, his superiors quickly jump at the story and authorize a generous initial payment to Chadwick. They put Buchanan in charge of the inquest, sensing that Chadwick’s knowledge could be a possible windfall in anti-Soviet intelligence gathering. To Buchanan’s dismay, fate and Jesse Chadwick have drawn him into an intrigue of which he wanted no part.
