It was to be a simple mission. Nothing more than assessingwhether a merchant in the fabled Israeli Diamond Exchange was involved in ascheme that could potentially embarrass the state of Israel. But nothing isever simple in the world of intelligence, as Aaron Bergman—a former leader ofan elite direct action team under the Mossad—should have known. Executing theoperation as a contractor, a cutout that gave the State of Israel plausibledeniability, he disappears without a trace. Pike Logan and his team know none of this, but he’s trackingan American arms dealer in Tel Aviv who may—or may not���be attempting to sell sensitive nuclearweapons components to the highest bidder. When Pike’s team breaks up an attemptat killing Shoshana, Aaron’s partner, they stumble upon much more than theyexpected—a concerted conspiracy to topple a democratic African country. Beginning to untangle a web that extends through both theAmerican and Israeli intelligence community, Pike is forced to choose betweenhis Israeli friends and his Taskforce mission, even as the execution of thecoup begins to form. At the heart of it is Aaron, and his disappearance is theone mistake the plotters made. Because Shoshana is the greatest killing machinethe Mossad has ever produced, and she will stop at nothing to help Aaron, evenif it means killing Pike Logan.
