THE HATTERAS AFFAIR presents a fictionalized account of a German plot to infiltrate the coastal defenses of America early in World War II. In the Spring of 1942, isolationist America was suffering heavy losses at the hands of marauding U-boat fleets operating with virtual impunity off the Eastern Seaboard near Cape Hatteras. Eager to combat the U-boat menace, the Department of the Navy turns to Great Britain who agrees to supply a flotilla of converted trawlers equipped with the latest in anti-submarine detection gear.

Germany's premier intelligence service, the SS Gestapo, learns of the Allied scheme by extorting top secret information from a Jewish-American civilian naval worker whose sister is imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp in Poland. The German Navy High Command, directed by the Fuhrer, dispatches their finest U-boat crew and commander with a Gestapo team, to Virginia on a secret mission to sink the trawlers at their docks.

THE HATTERAS AFFAIR culminates off the coast of North Carolina's Outer Banks, where the main character, a battle reluctant Coast Guard Commander turned trawler captain, confronts the German U-boat and it's decorated commander while on patrol near Hatteras Island. The sea battle produces a surprising outcome as both commanders lose their ships and are forced together in an epic struggle for survival in treacherous seas off Cape Hatteras.

THE HATTERAS AFFAIR contains several intriguing sub-plots that involve the compromised Jewish family, the trawler commander and crew, the Gestapo and U-boat teams, and residents of the Outer Banks. Each of the sub-plots add an interesting dimension that supports and enriches the novel's story line.
