The Eyes of the Tiger

Former SS General Max Rader and Imperial Japanese Army Colonel Shikoku Hondo are also on their way to steal the tiger.

Baroness Elspeth von Stadt – a West German intelligence agent – and the only person able to identify Max Rader after his recent plastic surgery – is assigned by AXE chief Mr. Hawk to help Carter.

The Baroness claims to hate Rader as he executed her German army officer father following an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler during World War II.

Hondo is injured and is imprisoned by Rader while Carter and the Baroness take shelter at the isolated Villa Limbo on an island in Lake Geneva.

After the statue is safely recovered Carter discovers that the Baroness was Rader's mistress and former Hitler Youth member and was responsible for denouncing her own father to the Nazis.

Hawk informs Carter that the children will be watched as they grow up and the sunken submarines and their contents recovered.
