Triangle of Deception

triangle-of-deception

How do you penetrate the world’s most secretive and tightly-knit terrorist organization? How do you manipulate its leaders and major supporters to unwittingly serve your goals?

Working in a joint CIA / Mossad sting operation, Dan Gordon chose the path of deception — a triangle of deception.

In this fourth installment in the Dan Gordon intelligence thriller series, Dan is on the hunt for the source of terror funding to Hezbollah. He infiltrates the Lebanese network in the Paraguayan terrorist hub, Ciudad del Este, through a Lebanese expat in Sierra Leone, only to realize the operation is even more wide-ranging than he has been told. A chase for false documents turns a Shakespearean drama of double identities and uncertain loyalties into a web of lies.

Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Dan lands in a grim Romanian jail. Was it a security leak that got him in trouble? Why was he told to abandon top-secret CIA documents in a hotel room in Turkey? Was Dan made a sacrificial lamb for the CIA to make their plan look credible? Has he stumbled on a much bigger plot, one with the potential to unlock Al Qaeda’s machinations in the Americas? And how will he extricate himself from his stickiest situation yet?

“If you prefer your spy thrillers to have the flavor of a ‘James Bond’ action adventure, then this book will not burn a candle of interest in you. However, if you enjoy intelligent spy novels that more accurately reflect how it is done in the real world, then you will love this book. The layers of deception are so deep that at times Dan doesn’t know what his role really is.” Click here for full review

Triangle of Deception … is filled with so many characters, schemes, and twists that, initially, it’s difficult to keep track of it all. I’m glad that I hung in there, though, as it soon comes together, and, after it did, I wasn’t able to put the book down. This is real intrigue, without all the glamour and fluff … a must-read for fans of complex and chilling crime novels. Though this is my first Dan Gordon Intelligence Thriller, it definitely won’t be my last.” Click here for full review
