Beskrivelse

A plot to render the shrine that is the Holy of Holies of Islam - yes, the Kaaba - out of bounds to a generation of pilgrims.A plot hatched within the Islamic world in such murky circumstances that two veteran intelligence agents allowed themselves to be ensnared into undertaking a mission which would be the culmination of their careers: the undoing of the plot. The most unlikely of friends, their conversation exhibits that uninhibitedness which true friendship engenders.Though not every detail in the book can be attested to, none of those in the know disputes the general outline of what is narrated here.PREVIEWS'Let the reader be warned: not a pool-side book. A demanding read.''This is not only the story of how two men strove to undo a plot which threatened to ignite an explosion of violence in the Middle East, a conflagration which would have spilled over to other regions, it is a work which pays homage - mainly through the Turk, Sinan - to the legacy that Western Europe has bequeathed to humanity.''Knowingly ignorant of the depth and reach of the conspiracy, they [Shlomo and Sinan] set out to avert Armageddon. All this against a backdrop of conspiracy within the Turkish Deep State. The reader is left to wonder whether Shlomo and Sinan were just pawns - witting, willing, but pawns nonetheless - ...or even decoys?''I had hoped that the figure of the engaging masclista had died with Leonard Cohen, but this writer outdoes Lenny at his zenith - nadir, rather.' (Eva, once militant now mellowed, Barcelona feminist).'Could a young man have written this young man's chronicle? One doubts it.'
