- A New York Times Bestseller - Former Special Forces officer and
New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor delivers a
heart-pounding thriller where Pike Logan's search for a Mossad agent and
ally puts him on a collision course with a ruthless military coup in
Africa--and tests his loyalties to the Taskforce.
It was supposed to be a simple mission. Nothing more than assessing
whether a merchant in the fabled Israeli Diamond Exchange was involved
in a scheme that could potentially embarrass the state of Israel. But
nothing is ever simple in the world of intelligence, as Aaron Bergman--a
former leader of an elite direct action team under the Mossad--should
have known. Executing the operation as a contractor, a cutout that gave
the State of Israel plausible deniability, he disappears without a
trace.
Pike Logan and his team know none of this, but he's tracking an American
arms dealer in Tel Aviv who may--or may not--be attempting to sell
sensitive nuclear weapons components to the highest bidder. When Pike's
team breaks up an attempt at killing Shoshana, Aaron's partner, they
stumble upon much more than they expected--a concerted conspiracy to
topple a democratic African country.
Beginning to untangle a web that extends through both the American and
Israeli intelligence community, Pike is forced to choose between his
Israeli friends and his Taskforce mission, even as the coup begins. But
Aaron's disappearance is the one mistake the plotters made. Because
Shoshana is the greatest killing machine the Mossad has ever produced,
and she will stop at nothing to help Aaron, even if it means killing
Pike Logan.
