Bücher der Reihe Amongst My Enemies

A dead Mossad agent, Nazi rocket scientists in Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood, a corrupt American ambassador, and two missing Egyptian tank regiments. Something is about to blow up in the desert at noon on Thursday, and Richard Thomson, a burned-out CIA agent, is the only one who can stop it. 4.3 Stars on 380 reader reviews! While the world is focused on the Russian missiles in Cuba, no one notices the even more deadly ones being rolled out in the Egyptian desert pointed at Israel, no one, except Thomson. Already gnawed on by Langley and set-up by the Cairo police, Thomson thinks his day can't get much worse until someone leaves a dead body on the rear steps of his hotel with its head lopped off like a ripe melon. A message? No doubt about it. The body belongs to Mahmoud Yussuf, a fat, petty thief and wannabe spy who is peddling photographs of a long-abandoned RAF base in the Egyptian desert. Someone is trying to start another Arab-Israeli war, and it's all going to start at Noon on Thursday unless Thompson can stop them. This Cold War spy thriller will sweep you back to when John Kennedy is in the White House, Nikita Khrushchev rules the Kremlin, and Abdel, Gamal Nasser sits precariously in Cairo, threatened by the radical Islamist fringe of the Muslim Brotherhood. While the world focuses on Russian missiles in Cuba, no one notices the ones being rolled out in the Egyptian desert pointed at Israel, no one, except Thomson. Alone and on the run, treachery and double-dealing are the rule. No one believes his story -- not the CIA, the US Ambassador, and most assuredly not Captain Hassan Saleh, Chief of the Homicide Bureau of the Cairo Police, who wants to hang Thomson for murder. Like Night of the Generals, this is a murder mystery wrapped inside an international political thriller. Tick Toc, Tick Toc...

Nothing covers up a big secret faster than a fresh grave. Someone with a scalpel and embalming table is planting bodies under other people's names.Pete Talbott, a harried Boston computer wonk, is still grieving over the death of his wife, when he finds himself at the wrong end of Gino Parini's .45 reading his own obituary torn from the morning newspaper. Talbott figures it's all a big mistake, until Parini shows him his wife's obituary too; and that's a mystery that Pete Talbott can't leave well-enough alone.Sandy Kasmarek is a kick-ass art gallery attendant on Chicago's stylish North Michigan Avenue, and her late and un-lamented husband is also featured in another of the bogus obituaries.With a photographer's sharp eye and the quick feet of a black belt, she and Pete are soon embroiled in government corruption, organized crime, and an FBI undercover shell game.From a funeral home in Indiana, to car chases on the Dan Ryan Expressway, a bloody townhouse in Boston's Back Bay, snipers in New York's Washington Square, the cramped lower bunk on an AMTRAK train, they find themselves knee-deep in sleazy lawyers, corrupt County sheriffs, the FBI, and Mafia hit men. And if Pete and Sandy can't stop him, they know they will be next on the Undertaker's list.Looking for a good beach book or something to curl up with in front of the fire, this fast-moving conspiracy thriller is from the author of Burke's War, Burke's Gamble, Burke's Revenge, Burke's Samovar, Burke's Mandarin, Burke's Rescue, and the forthcoming Burke's Rescue, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon, Winner Lose All, and Aim True, My Brothers, as well as the Our Vietnam War series, Volumes 1-4, with interviews and photos from 240 American and allied Veterans.

Radical Middle East terrorism explodes on American shores.Most of the hundreds of thousands of passengers who pass through Dulles Airport in DC are tourists, government officials, or harried businessmen. Ibrahim Al-Bari is none of those. He is a killer on a blood hunt, and his target is the President of the United States.With years of combat experience in the rocky deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, Mohammed Al-Bari has battled the best Special Ops troops America has to offer. But when his two brothers die in a bloody assault on a civilian bus in Israel, he takes his private war to the heart of America itself.Smart, skilled, and determined, he is a rogue lone-wolf ¿ the FBI and Secret Service's worst nightmare. When he strikes, he will unleash a firestorm that will decapitate the US government and kill dozens of international leaders on national television.The only thing that stands in his way is an ad hoc group of counter-terror specialists: Eddie Barnett, a maverick FBI agent who has never met a rule he can't break; Moustapha Khalidi, the dapper Chief of Security at the Egyptian Embassy; and Rachel Ullman, a hard-edged, Israeli Mossad agent who is fighting demons of her own.From the White House to Newark New Jersey, from Beirut to Tel-Aviv, and to the grassy fields of an old Colonial Battlefield in Virginia, can their dysfunctional alliance hold together long enough to stop Al-Bari before they kill each other.Knowing the 'who' Al-Bari is after is not enough. To stop him, they need to figure out the where, and most importantly, the how he will strike. The pace is fast, the action nonstop, and the clock is ticking.
