Overview
The Assassin is a political thriller set during the Gaza war between Hamas and Israel. Dr. Russell Conrad is once again pulled into the shadowy world of the CIA and Mossad. With support from David Abraham and Sophia Kessler, he gains Mossad approval to act as an unofficial liaison between the United States and Israel. When President Omar Sanjar fails to secure a truce, he asks Conrad to help negotiate between the opposing sides. The assignment puts Conrad in extreme danger and makes him a target for Iranian assassins. With assistance from the Eritrean ambassador to the United Nations, a meeting is arranged between Conrad and representatives of Hamas and the PLO. Mossad assigns Sophia Kessler to protect him, and together they travel from Dallas to Cancun, Mexico. The Assassin is the third book in the Russell Conrad Political Thriller Series.
