      About This Book

      A young Washington lawyer whose parents were mysteriously killed in an alleged hit-and-run accident, Ben Poltarek finds himself faced once again with sudden tragedy -- and unwittingly becomes a player in a deadly game of global intelligence. When a dying special agent crashes into his life, Ben is plunged into the secret underground world of the Assistants -- American Jews who place their skills, and their lives, in service to Israel. Now, pursued by Arab assassins who want to silence him, manipulated by agents of the vaunted Mossad, and targeted by his own government, Ben must navigate the explosive and chaotic worlds of power, terrorism, and controversial politics.
