A spellbinding master of suspense does it again. Yair Weinstock, best-selling Author of Blackout, Eye of the Storm, and The Gordian Knot outdoes himself in this new novel of international intrigue, in which a team of sleuths slices through a tangled web of mystery and danger to save the world from catastrophe. One top scientist after another disappears. Anonymous hackers break into the most sophisticated computers of international intelligence agencies. The worlds most acclaimed spooks are haunted by the revelation of their most vital secrets. Who is behind it? What is the motive? The tracks lead to Iraq. Is the notorious dictator of the pariah country trying to control the world by hijacking its computer secrets? Is this a new plot to force the United States and its allies to lift their sanctions? If it is indeed Saddam Hussein, will his success presage war? A strange team assembles to meet the challenge: Rabbi Uri Silver; private investigator Yosef Hadar; Mossad agent Ezra Marciano; and billionaire Lewis Kinsley. They plunge into a fast-moving international drama in which youths are sent into the lions den to try and solve the riddle that threatens the security of the United States, Europe, Israel -- even the world. In the unique modus operandi that has made him a favorite of thousands of readers, Weinstock leads us headlong through twists and turns of plot, temptingly spiced with thought-provoking humanitarian issues. Each chapter of this hard to put down page-turner ends with a tantalizing question that makes the reader ignore the clock and want to read on. Calculated Risk is no friend of schedules, but connoisseurs of the mystery novel will love it.
