Pike Logan and the Taskforce trail a trained killer through the Middle East in this heart-pounding installment of Brad Taylor's New York Times bestselling series. A tentative peace between Israel and Palestine has been brokered by the United States. But the Taskforce-a clandestine team operating outside of US law to protect the country from terrorism-hears of an assassination attempt on the American envoy sent to solidify the treaty. The Taskforce must devote every resource to saving his life-and preventing another bloody outbreak of violence. Taskforce operator Pike Logan and his partner, Jennifer Cahill, must hunt down the assassin through the Middle East, following a trail that becomes more perilous at every turn. And they must deal with terrorist organizations, independent killers, and shaky allies to uncover the biggest threat of all- an American citizen hiding a secret that just may destroy everything, including the Taskforce.
