Synopsis

From the creators of Smallville and Into the Badlands comes an action-packed "triple feature" debut thriller about a war veteran and CIA officer in the 1960s swept up into a cat and mouse game with enormous, world-altering consequences where Hitler may still be alive (Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Escape Artist and The First Conspiracy).

David Toland, a decorated Korean War veteran, has done all he can to leave a life of combat behind. Now Director of Preservation for the Library of Congress's National Film Archive, Toland has made it his mission to preserve what he loves most: the Golden Age of American cinema, moving pictures full of romance, adventure and American Dream. That is, until CIA Agent Lana Welles drops in unannounced with a film canister, smuggled over the Berlin Wall at great cost, that may prove WWII never really ended -- it just went underground.
David reluctantly agrees to serve his country one last time and help recover the film for Lana and the CIA. But it seems not everyone is as eager as they are to dig up the past. David and Lana's discovery awakens shadowy forces who will do anything to keep their findings a secret. In search of the truth, David and Lana find themselves intertwined in a global conspiracy.

Goodreads review by Paul on February 26, 2019

Quick, exciting, and thoroughly entertaining. Sure, there were some quick jumps and a couple of crazy plot connections, but if you’re looking for a hot page-turner, this is it. A thriller/ action novel just waiting to be brought to the screen. An escape with a definite edge. For my full review: https:......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on September 16, 2022

A fun read that started a little slow, but sped up quickly and kept the pedal down for nearly the rest of the book. I'm not going to say much else, except that there are two plot twists in the last couple of chapters that you may think you see coming, but both are not what you expect. Kudos to the au......more

Goodreads review by Alice on February 28, 2020

I love winning books through goodreads. I read a variety of books that I may not have read otherwise. Take a CIA agent, a Korean War vet and an author who are trying to prove where Hitler is alive or not. It is action packed with a little bit of love and deception. It kept my interest through the wh......more

Quotes

"Take your favorite classic film that's filled with adventure and romance, translate it to the page, add a side order of lean, flexing prose, and you'll end up with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar's debut novel. This one's got history, exotic locales, and plenty of twists -- DOUBLE EXPOSURE is a triple feature."—Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE ESCAPE ARTIST and THE FIRST CONSPIRACY

"DOUBLE EXPOSURE should come with a warning label: Once you start reading you'll do nothing else until it ends. It's everything anyone could want in a thriller--a protagonist fleeing his heroic past, a female CIA agent with inexplicable skills, a desperate globe-spanning chase, and the ultimate villain. More, please!"—Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author ofJUDGMENT

"Gough and Millar bring their world-class storytelling chops to a rocket of a first novel. With a premise worthy of Hitchcock, DOUBLE EXPOSURE is a globetrotting adventure, a what-if pretzel of a historical tale, and a twisty piece of fine suspense. Hang on tight or this one will buck you right off the ride."—Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series
