Aaron and Shoshana,
now married, are freelancing for Mossad. Aaron is tracking a group of
suspicious men who Mossad worries are involved with the Israeli
Diamond Exchange. Shoshana has been left behind, because Aaron takes
Alexandra, a novice who works at the Diamond Exchange, as his
partner. Shoshana is not happy.
Coincidentally, Pike
and Jennifer are tracking a US arms dealer, Tyler Malloy. The Task
Force, believes he may be engaged in subversive activities. The
trail leads Pike and Jennifer to Israel where they try to meet up
with Aaron and Shoshana. Shoshana puts them off. She hasn’t heard
from Aaron and fears the worst.
The two threads come
together for an exciting ending. As the all Pike Logan books, the
action is non-stop. Also as usual, Pike moves beyond his assignment
and has to convince the boss, Kurt, to let him go ahead.
I love the Pike
Logan series; this is the 12th book. There’s a good
blend of action and interplay between the characters. This book has
particularly good character development. Shoshana, who is one of my
favorite characters, grows significantly. Her love for Aaron turning
her from a killing machine into a more vulnerable human.
At the end of the
book, Taylor has a description of how he got interested in the plot
and researched it. I highly recommend reading this section, but not
until you’ve finished the book to avoid spoilers. It’s almost as
exciting as the book itself.
I received this book
from Dutton for this review.
