Publisher's Synopsis
After a humiliating and costly divorce, best-selling spy paperback writer Milton Goldfarb desperately needs to escape the public eye. He gratefully accepts when a friend offers him a teaching job at Bar Ilan University in Israel.
Urgently needing another best-selling book, Milton comes up with his best-ever plot idea: what if a disgruntled Israeli tried to assassinate the Prime Minister of Israel? It's the perfect rescue mission for Milton's dashing alter-ego, Jack Steckman. Milton reasons that his new writing students can help him work out the plot. Then, one of Milton's fanatical students assassinates the Prime Minister.
Broke and defeated, Milton finds himself behind bars as the fall guy for shadowy figures in the Shabak and Mossad. How can he possibly prevail against such mysterious and determined forces? Milton and his eccentric circle of friends must find crucial evidence and solve the mystery, or Milton's jail stay will be permanent.
