Аннотация

Set in California, Mexico, Washington, D.C., and Germany in 1946, The Eighth Dwarf centers around a struggle among three intelligence agencies, each seeking the same man. Minor Jackson, and ex-OSS operative, is thrown into this conflict with only his wits, a dwarf and an almost-beautiful woman to help him.
Jackson is broke when he pulls the dwarf, Ploscaru, out of a Beverly Hills swimming pool. Ploscaru — Romanian aristocrat, genius-spy, love-object for fascinated women — has an almost-legal scheme to make both of them rich. Kurt Oppenheimer's relatives, says the dwarf, will pay them handsomely to find Kurt, who disappeared in Germany during the war.
Unknown to Jackson, Oppenheimer is a slightly crazed, but highly efficient assassin, who has continued to murder ex-Nazi leaders after the war, and who is being sought by the British, the Russians, the Americans and, quite possibly, this Israelis, all of whom have their reasons for wanting the killer — and alive. As Oppenheimer, a master of disguises and dialects, skillfully steals across a divided Germany finding his victims, the dwarf plays one country against another in a dangerous game of intrigue, pursuit and entrapment with a totally unexpected conclusion.
