Part of Pike Logan, book 3
First published 2013
Pike Logan receives urgent orders from the Taskforce, a covert antiterrorism unit that operates beyond official channels. An American diplomat working to cement a fragile Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement faces an assassination plot. Logan and his partner Jennifer Cahill must track the would-be killer across the Middle East before he can strike. The trail leads them through a maze of terrorist cells, freelance assassins, and unreliable contacts. Each lead seems to dissolve just as they close in. Logan discovers the most dangerous enemy may be an American with secrets that could destroy not just the peace process, but the Taskforce itself. As violence threatens to explode across the region, Logan must choose between following orders and protecting everything he believes in.
