Near the end of World War II, a German U-boat deposited two Nazi saboteurs on the coast of Maine. History tells us they were quickly captured. But what if there was a third man?

Amidst the turbulent events of twentieth-century America, the third man partners with a geneticist and the Ku Klux Klan to weaponize the emerging science of molecular biology. First to develop lethal bacteria and ultimately to engineer modifications of the human genome. Until years later, an accidental discovery at the U-boat’s landing site provides a glimpse of their mission. Drawing Professor Brad Parker and Maine State Police Lieutenant Karen Richmond into a struggle to stop the creation of a new class of neo-Nazi warriors.

Praise for the Third Man
“Falling between Robin Cook’s medical thrillers and Robert Parker’s Spenser potboilers isn’t a bad place to live-and this one hit a sweet spot.” ~BlueInk Review
“The Third Man continues Geoffrey M. Cooper’s reputation for producing flawless, thoroughly engrossing medical thrillers. Cooper’s blend of action and technological development marries intrigue with real-world possibilities in a frightening manner. There are many mirrors between this book’s thriller and suspense action and real-world headlines today. Perhaps that’s what makes it especially intriguing and frightening and hard to put down.: ~Diane Donovan, Mideast Book Review
“A multigenerational story about an ongoing fight between good and evil forces, The Third Man is an exciting thriller. Investigators open up a Nazi eugenics cold case in a book that is part spy thriller, part scientific whodunit. I an adventure that involves deception, homicide, and a submarine ride. Walter, a Nazi foreign intelligence officer, teams up with a deep-cover agent, Catherine and the Ku Klux Klan to further his mission. The resultant plot is thick with twists; its mystery is as gripping as it is frightening in its realism.” ~Forward Clarion Review
“The Third Man, Geoffrey M. Cooper’s latest installment in his thriller series starring Brad Parker and Karen Richmond, is a fun, fast-paced medical mystery that adeptly balances scientific intrigue and human drama.” ~IndieReader
“The star couple in Cooper’s series investigates a Nazi plot that may still be in motion today. Brad and Karen share a lot of witty banter, and watching them unravel the plot is compelling enough to keep the reader turning the pages.” ~Kirkus Reviews
