It was supposed to be a simple mission, assessing whether a merchant in the Israeli Diamond Exchange was involved in a scheme that could embarrass Israel. But nothing is simple in the world of intelligence, as Aaron Bergman should have known. Executing the operation as a contractor, he disappears without a trace. Pike Logan and his team are tracking an American arms dealer in Tel Aviv who may or may not be attempting to sell sensitive nuclear weapons components. When Pike's team breaks up an attempt at killing Shoshana, Aaron's partner, they stumble upon much more than they expected - a conspiracy to topple a democratic African country.
