Investigating attorney Dan Gordon is working for a unit of the U.S. Department of Justice that combats money launderers outside the United States. A routine mission develops into a complex international plot involving murder, espionage, kidnapping, conspiracy, and romance. Gordon, an indefatigable bloodhound, calls on his innate shrewdness, as well as his secret Mossad past and training, to ferret out the truth. In this intelligence thriller, attorney Haggai Carmon, a U.S Department of Justice outside consultant, weaves an ingenious plot. The Byzantine, subterranean methods by which rogue states―in this case the theocracy of Iran―seek to acquire nuclear materials are illuminated. If you want to understand how the CIA and the Mossad work, alone and together, you’ll get no better picture than the one told in this compulsively readable intelligence thriller.
Fact: The attacks of September 11, 2001, brought terror to our doorstep. Fact: Suicide bombers, attacks on mass transit, the leveling of hotels and nightclubs followed elsewhere. Fact: Terrorists’ endgame is maximum civilian casualties through minimum effort. Question: What’s next? Haggai Carmon’s timely new intelligence thriller, The Red Syndrome , describes a plausible and frighteningly simple terrorist conspiracy: Introduce a lethal biological weapon into the nation’s food supply in a way never before imagined. Which Americans belong to the Iranian-backed Islamic fundamentalist splinter group that threatens the U.S. population? Can they be stopped? This exciting sequel to Haggai Carmon’s Triple Identity again features ex-Mossad agent Dan Gordon, who now works for the U.S. Department of Justice. Like Triple Identity, The Red Syndrome begins with Gordon on the trail of what appears to be straightforward case of money-laundering. But in the Byzantine world of dirty money and offshore accounts, multiple layers are the rule, not the exception. Crime breeds strange mutations. Here, you sleep with one eye open. Always. Gordon’s investigation of dubious Russian mob money transfers is now assigned to the CIA. The plot quickly turns to a hunt for a devastating bio-terror weapon, a hunt that features murder, coded messages, kidnapping, breathtaking desert chases, and betrayals along the way. With fast-paced action on three continents, good guys may not always have the upper hand. Problem is: who is good and who is bad? This insider intelligence thriller rivets the reader through to its surprising end.
The master criminal and con man known as the Chameleon has eluded international law enforcement for twenty years. Dan Gordon was sure he finally had him, but he was left empty-handed. Now he won’t rest until the Chameleon is stopped. The Chameleon is actually more than a mere criminal―he’s an undercover sleeper agent. But Gordon is more than he seems, too. He’s an experienced hunter, trained by the Mossad, working now for the CIA.
Dan Gordon goes undercover to infiltrate and destroy an international Hezbollah funding plot. But when his cover is blown he wonders if he’s been a sacrificial lamb for the CIA all along.
Covert CIA agent Dan Gordon is used to sleeping with one eye open, but when his new assignment lands him in the dangerous crosshairs of international clandestine warfare, subterfuge reaches a whole new level. Gordon’s latest task is to rendezvous with a high-ranking Iranian General integral to the country’s nuclear weapons’ program who plans to defect with a trove of state secrets, but when the general doesn’t show, the night ends in a maelstrom of confusion and gunfire, leaving Dan bruised, bloodied, and with more questions than answers. As a former Mossad-agent-turned-lawyer, Dan knows he can never fully trust those around him, but it quickly becomes clear that this mission is not what it seems and he finds himself questioning his own superiors. With fears about Iran’s nuclear armament growing by the day and Dan embroiled in a treachery that may extend all the way from Tehran to Washington, this defection looks to be the most dangerous game of all. The fifth novel in the Dan Gordon series is a spell-binding and authentic view into the world of covert intelligence operations and is sure to have readers on the edge of their seats, questioning everything they thought they knew.
