My Review
Marc Royce
was fired from his job with the U.S. State Department when he insisted on being
with his ailing wife. Now, the same man who fired him, needs him for an unofficial
job. This is not the first time Ambassador Walton called Marc back to temporary
duty after his wife died. On a previous job he met Israeli Kitra Korban. They
have a history that ended with her going back to help manage her family kibbutz
and he refusing to join her there.
This story
begins with Marc in Geneva to follow-up on rumors that Iran intends to blockade
the Strait of Hormuz and cutoff important shipping. Walton cannot go through
normal channels for fear of information leaks. Israel is working outside
official channels as well and sends Kitra to warn Marc he is in danger.
A team consisting
of Marc, Kitra, a Swiss secret agent, a Geneva police inspector, two Iranians,
and two Israeli agents emerges. The story moves quickly and the suspense gets
intense at times. The descriptions are so powerful you feel you are there with
the team and you wonder if the author has firsthand experience with such
situations. He knows what he is talking about and he makes what could be a
confusing tale understandable and entertaining.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
