But with Prohibition over and the gang wars associated with it coming to an end, Schumann is finding less and less work. He is contracted for a hit. But this time, he's caught - and finds that he's been set up. He's taken to meet an official in Army Intelligence and given a choice: he can spend the rest of his life in jail, or he can help his country. He is to pose as a member of the 1936 Olympic team, travel to Berin, and kill a high-ranking Nazi close to Hitler. Schumann has bee picked because he's a second generation German-American and can speak the language fluently. Or at least that's what they lead him to believe... *** Quantity Available: 1.
