The trail leads him from London to Paris, the French Riviera and the Middle East where he stumbles onto a deadly conspiracy to unite the Arabs and the Persians against Israel. On the journey he is plunged into a maelstrom of skullduggery, riches, and sex. The author reveals some never-before-told facts about Middle Eastern supersonic missiles, aggression, terror, hubris and a very real threat to the existence of Israel. An evocative picture of the Middle East and its moral maze of corruption, intrigue, power and riches.
