The Celtic Connection: Day of No Hiding

by R.W. Preston

Circa 1987: Enter Lujack Lane, a former, rough-n-tumble cowboy turned international bounty hunter from Lubbock, Texas. Lane stumbles across an amazing find that could alter written history in a very big way. Lane's colleague, former BBC journalist Blaine Blair, lets Lane in on a story that he did one time during a one-on-one interview with Rudolph Hess in the Gothic-famed Spandau Prison in Germany. The interview was a major success for the BBC. But there was one thing Blair kept to himself: Hess, who knows he is at the end of his days, slipped Blair a letter for him to mail. After Lane reads the letter, he asks Congressman Lockwood Hightower to pull some political strings and arrange for another meeting with Hess. It is done just so, and Lane is able to walk out of Spandau with another letter from the old ex-patriot. Not to mail but to dissect. Lane gets what he had hoped for. A name of a Nazi that he is willing to climb heaven and earth to find. All the more reason to capture an old thug who lived in the outskirts of D.C. while living life to the full. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Shamir would pay a cool one million dollars for the man known as the "Beast of Belsen" in hopes of improving his approval rating. One Josef Kramer is now in the anonymous international spotlight. The former SS commandant that was thought to be hanged, escaped out of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp right after it was liberated. Hightower puts Lane on a fast-track to Dublin, Ireland. Where Lane and his Alpha Team meet up with Storm McGinty - the don of Irish nationals who will help in the hunt. The embarrassed Royal Family soon find out that Kramer had bribed a Brit colonel in order to get out of the camp, and that he was still alive and may have an escape story to tell to the press. Lane is thick in the mix, and he knows who else is right there with him. The British SAS and the Russian mafia do not want Kramer captured, and want him dead. Lane finds himself in a scandalous race where the only rule is his rule. Where the only truth is more lies...
