The classic film "Casablanca" provides the inspiration for this novel, but its plot is straight out of today's news. An American with a shadowy history is now living in Casablanca. He is visited by a beautiful woman, out of his past, Anya. She needs help bringing her husband, a Mossad operative, out of a deep cover operation in a terrorist cell, one that has laid claim to the name and reputation of a notorious group from the 1970's. Anya's husband, however, has learned of a massive terrorist operation planned by the group he has infiltrated. His agency wants more information, so they won't pull him out. But does Rick Grey even want to help? The race is on to bring her husband from the shadows, while others work to prevent the plot from reaching its horrible conclusion.
