Former Mossad agent Dan Gordon is now an attorney working for the United States Department of Justice. As a specialist in tracing the path of laundered money, he often finds that much more is involved. His new case leads from a small New York bank to multiple offshore accounts. As he digs deeper, he finds himself among members of the Russian mob who may be financing Iranian-backed terrorists with biological weapons. A multi-agency task force takes over the investigation and Gordon is working with unknown colleagues, some of whom may be moles. As if that weren’t enough, his former Mossad mentor, Benny, asks him to help locate two missing operatives. Although the identity of the mole is obvious early in the story, the currency of the plot and the action will sustain readers. As he did in Triple Identity, Carmon keeps readers involved with a fast-moving plot that takes them all over the world. Thriller fans will enjoy Gordon’s new adventure.
