8. The Alpine Pursuit - The war is over, and Alex Kovacs has returned to his home in Vienna after his years of fighting for the French Resistance. He left Paris to avoid the constant reminders of what he had done for the Resistance, the people he killed, the compromises he made. But in Vienna, he feels anything but home. The city is a wreck, his old life no longer exists, and Alex is adrift until an unexpected employment offer arrives from an old friend. The job is to join up with a new intelligence agency staffed mostly by former German military men and supported by the United States, which needs their contacts in the east. His first task, though, is personal: to find the Gestapo agent who ruined his life in many ways, an unrepentant Nazi attempting to escape to South America through the Alps along the infamous rat line.

9. Adrift in Istanbul - In a city perched between East and West, and with the Cold War growing colder every day, people are still getting killed because of the last war.
Hitler is dead, Germany is dismembered, the entire Western intelligence operation is focused on the growing Soviet threat — and yet, there are people in Istanbul who remain fixated on a war that was supposed to be over. Fixated, and firing away. It is in this maelstrom that Alex Kovacs finds himself in a new thriller by author Richard Wake.
Alex is doing his best to settle into the life he has chosen, or that has chosen him. He is an espionage agent for the Gehlen Organization, a shadowy group of former German military officers who are being funded by the United States because of their ability to gather information about the Soviets in the East. Istanbul, then as now, was a crossroads between civilizations and ideologies, and Alex expected his job to revolve around that East vs West standoff. He never could have expected it would be the place where a continuing blood feud between Nazis and their opponents was still being played out, and that he would be drawn into the middle of it.
And yet, there he was. One day, Alex would negotiate with a Turkish industrialist determined to keep the Nazi cause alive with an underground army he wanted to build. The next day, he would fence with the Turkish secret police, a brutal organization tasked with keeping some sense of balance as the East vs West confrontation played out on its soil. And then, when an acquaintance of his ends up dead in a brutal attack, Alex is forced to confront again all of the emotions that have driven him for years — specifically, the tension between revenge and justice. It is a tension that nearly tore him apart earlier, and now he is forced to confront it again, this time in the ancient city divided by the Bosporous: half in Europe, half in Asia, entirely in the shadows of history.

10. Budapest in Pieces - THE COMMUNISTS RULE HUNGARY, BUT WHO RULES THE COMMUNISTS?
Alex Kovacs, an ordinary man and an extraordinary spy, has been dispatched to Budapest with a task that is both simple and complicated. In the years after World War II, it went without saying that the Communists were in charge in Hungary. There was no disputing that reality. But in a nation that ping-ponged between the Communists and the Nazis over the previous decades -- and in a city divided not only by the Danube River but by the brutal memories of the war -- Alex was given the job of finding a way to give the West a peek into the hierarchy that ran what had become a major Cold War foe.
His post-war employer, the Gehlen Organization, was a German-run intelligence group that was funded partly by the United States because of its contacts in the East, contacts that the Americans could not match. But penetrating the hierarchy of the Hungarian Communist Party? There was nothing simple about that -- nothing simple or safe. And along the way, Alex found himself tangled up in the lives of several other Hungarians, including a monsignor with a secret that would compromise him with both the Catholic Church and the Communists, and a Budapest woman who held a grudge dating back to the war years, a grudge she could not relinquish.

11. Escape from Estonia - THE WAR IS OVER, BUT THE FIGHT CONTINUES.
In the latest book in the Alex Kovacs thriller series, the site is a new one but the problems are old. Alex finds himself in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, doing the kind of Cold War espionage work — chronicling train arrivals and shipments and the like — that is mundane on the one hand but viewed as vital in the struggle against Soviet oppression. The complications are numerous, though, because of Estonia’s recent history: taken over by the Soviets, and then by the Nazis, and then by the Soviets again, all in the space of a few years. The result is a kind of national dizziness, as people who cozied up to the Soviets, and then the Nazis, and then the Soviets again, attempt to look their neighbors in the eye without tumbling over. And even years after the end of World War II, the fight against Nazism seemingly won, the Hitler-lovers remain as unkill-able as cockroaches.
In the midst of all of that, Alex is torn by his view of right and wrong, and his duty to the Gehlen Organization, his anti-Communist-at-all-costs employer in the espionage business. This pushing and pulling leads him to dilemmas unique to Estonia but universal in their understanding — such as his attempt to work with farmers and vodka bootleggers being strangled by the Soviet takeover of the country, and his determination to assist a man who finds himself trapped by the Soviet secret police. And then there are the Forest Brothers — thousands of Nazi sympathizers who spent years hidden in the woods, running hit-and-run sabotage operations against the occupying Red Army. Alex gets tangled up with them, too, and tangled up with his beliefs and his emotions along the way.
