Publisher's Synopsis
In Tel Aviv, Commander Alan Craik, a US Navy veteran agrees to check out the death of a former Navy enlisted employee. The task quickly turns dangerous, and what should have been a routine investigation turns very ugly. Nominal American allies in Israel withhold or alter information; nominal colleagues at home set up their own operation to satisfy the political needs of Washington; a wife betrays her husband, and deceit and distrust reign. With agents of Mossad and the Palestinian Authority always close behind, Craik demands the answers to some far-reaching questions: what are the rules in modern conflict? And what is the cost of telling the truth?
