The Dolomite Challenge
Tom Joyce
(Author)
Description
This is the third novel in a series following Vienna Police inspector Karl Marbach. This story takes place in the late summer of 1947. With encouragement from US Army Counterintelligence, Marbach is investigating Die Spinne, an escape route out of Germany and Austria for Nazi war criminals. Marbach and CIC major Millican learn about a new escape route called Odessa, a better-financed and more ambitious escape route, and they set out to obtain information about the location of the Odessa relay stations. They also hope to capture travelers on Odessa, including Adolf Eichmann, the architect of what became a mass deportation of Jews to extermination camps. Marbach enlists six men to go with him into the Tyrolian part of Austria to see if they can get the Odessa papers-and hopefully also capture Adolf Eichmann. The seven-man team is a collection of men from different countries, including France, Austria, and Poland. At a point where the Odessa papers and Eichmann appear to be within grasp, a large force of Odessa men get into position on the mountain just below Marbach's team, and the only way to avoid getting killed is to climb all the way up to the top of the Dolomites and then down into Italy. A solid bond is forged among the men, who struggle and take risks for each other during the Dolomite climb. During the journey, the men learn a lot about each other-and themselves.

Tom Joyce will neither confirm nor deny having any association with persons, living or dead, that have worked for intelligence gathering agencies, in the United States or abroad, in any capacity whatsoever. He can, however, confirm that he has spent time in exotic and sometimes dangerous locations researching a memoir, aptly called "Heretic," and a novel of international intrigue, mystery and star-crossed romance entitled "The Missing Peace." When not writing genre-blurring books, or traveling to countries that sometimes have potable water, Tom runs Creativewerks, a design and publishing company serving an international clientele he would rather not name. He sometimes resides in Washington DC; sometimes not. You can find out more-but not all-about him at: www.tomdjoyce-writer.com and www.creativewerks.com.
