Novels by H. J. Cole

Allied bombing raids over Berlin signal the end of the Second World War as Nazi leaders, their dream of a Third Reich crumbling around them, scramble to save their own lives. Amidst the chaos, valuable golden antiquities disappear from the fabled Priam Treasure of the ancient City of Troy.

A German submarine returning from a secret mission involving the bizarre escape of four Nazi leaders from war-torn Germany loses a deadly battle with a Royal Air Force submarine hunter. As it sinks into its watery grave, the U-Boat releases a special communications capsule containing documents that reveal the secrets of its final mission.

Sixty years later, a scuba diver off the coast of Ireland finds a small sealed container bearing a swastika emblem.

The capsule is entrusted to Sean Dylan, a former Special Forces operative, archeologist and adventurer, who opens it to discover a series of encrypted documents that lead him on an incredible, international journey of intrigue and mystery.

A myriad of interests want to stop Dylan. The FBI wants to prevent the release of hidden secrets of the Second World War. Canada’s CSIS walks a delicate line between cooperating with the US agents and protecting their own interests. Meanwhile, members of the Neo-Nazi Underground Party want the golden treasure to rebuild its dream of a Third Reich.

The search for the truth about the U-Boat’s final mission and the fate of the gold taken from the Priam Treasure is a riveting story laced with action and suspense.
