Sinossi

Ghosts of Honolulu

Ghosts of Honolulu: A Japanese Spy, a Japanese American Spy Hunter, and the Untold Story of Pearl Harbor" by Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr. is a non-fiction book that delves into the world of espionage in Hawaii during World War II. 

The book highlights the work of the precursor to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) in combating Japanese spies. A significant figure in the narrative is Douglas Wada, the only Japanese-American counterintelligence agent in Hawaii at the time. 

Wada's task was to monitor the local Japanese population, although he and his colleagues primarily focused on the Japanese consular agents as the real spies. The book describes the covert activities and challenges faced by Wada and his team, especially after the Pearl Harbor attack, which was facilitated by information from a spy in the Honolulu consulate.

    A secret treaty will determine whether England can survive against Napoleon—Captain Grey races across the Atlantic to intercept a Spanish treasure fleet. 
     
     
     
    Vienna—June 1804. At the glittering debut of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, a Spanish diplomat meets with Captain Thomas Grey, agent of His Majesty's Secret Service. In exchange for a gigantic bribe, the Spaniard discloses Spain's most closely-held secret, the terms of  its San Ildefonso Treaty with France. Spain's neutrality in Napoleon's war on Britain is only a ruse to keep the British navy from attacking the last great treasure-armada, now gathering in South America. Spanish warships will depart the port of Montevideo carrying 2,000 tons of gold; when the gold is safely in Madrid, Spain will declare war on Britain, ally with France, and divide the British Empire between them. Britain's only hope is a preemptive strike—to cripple Spain by capturing the armada on the high seas. The responsibility of delivering that blow falls to Grey.
