Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The scene is Switzerland, and the long-delayed Middle East peace conference is at last in session. On the crystalline waters of Lake Geneva, the hijacking of a pleasure boat filled with Americans--including the world-famous journalist and news commentator Susan Kraft--sets off a furor that reverberates across three continents and locks the American and Israeli governments into a grim and embittered test of wills. The hijackers demand: the release from Israel of Maruan Awad, powerful and brutal leader of the most efficient Arab murder apparatus ever known. Directing the terrorists is Deborah Rimon, a beautiful sabra and leader of her people, whose love for Awad is greater than her love for Israel. She will not be deterred in her efforts to get him back. Mosher Lieberman, head of Israeli intelligence, has for years harbored a personal hatred for Awad, a hatred that borders on mania. Once the infamous Arab is in his captivity, he means to keep him with a vengeance, even though the lives of 80 Americans and the very core of Israeli/American diplomacy hang in the balance. U.S. Secretary of Defense Martin Silver is caught in a conflict of loyalties. For 35 years Silver has turned his back on his Jewish heritage. The panic-stricken President has now asked him to use his power and influence against Israel. Is Silver willing to prove his allegiance to America by betraying the Jewish homeland? Will he deny his background and defy Moshe Lieberman, his childhood friend? This is a novel filled with enormous passion, a story in which love and hate know no boundaries, in which man's humanity and inhumanity in man are nearly mirror images. One is drawn, propelled and finally hurtled to its shattering resolution. Painting and jacket design by Tim Gaydas. Seller Inventory # 725
