In the summer of 1947, Military Policeman Bill Wolfe is sent undercover to monitor the proceedings of the UN committee charged with creating a peaceful partition of Palestine following the British rule in the region.
A simple job becomes life threatening when one of the delegates receives a potential death threat.
At once, Wolfe's shadows is both entertaining and informative. The research by the author into the tensions in the region following the end of the second world war is brilliant. Considering the current situation in Israel, this is a timely reminder of why the situation exists in the first place.
Wolfe is a maverick investigator for whom the end justifies the means and this pitches him into various perilous situations which keep the reader on the edge of their seat.
Another excellent story from the Ash Carter Near East series that broadens the scope of the series and adds interesting additional world building as well as great historical knowledge of the time period involved.
