I got this today at the Lake Villa train station in exchange for another book. It was once at Patcie's Paperback Book Exchange in Fox Lake, IL.

c. 1979 -- 319 pages -- Paperback

Back Cover: Ex-OSS operative Minor Jackson was broke when he pulled the sputtering dwarf out of the Beverly Hills swimming pool in the summer of '46. But Nicolae Ploscaru -- dwarf, Romanian nobleman, genius, spy, love-object for fascinated women -- has an almost-legal scheme to make them both rich. Relatives of Kurt Oppenheimer, who vanished in Germany during the war, will pay them handsomely to locate him.

Unknown to Jackson, Oppenheimer is a slightly crazed but highly efficient assassin who has continued to murder ex-Nazi leaders after the war. He's being sought by the Americans, the Russians, the British, and, quite possibly, the Israelis -- all of whom have their reasons for wanting the killer alive.

As Oppenheimer skillfully steals across a divided Germany in pursuit of his victims, Jackson and the dwarf play one country against another in a dangerous game of intrigue and entrapment, leading to a totally unexpected conclusion.
