A Koran, a Bible and a Torah are set ablaze in an explosive video demanding peace in the Middle East. A rogue entity threatens to destroy Jerusalem with a nuclear weapon in twenty-one days if an agreement is not reached. The United Nations forms an emergency commission, but can the representatives of the three religious factions overcome centuries of mistrust? Will their own infighting derail the path to an acceptable settlement? Jack Oatmon comes out of retirement again to help Athree Devereaux, his former CIA colleague. Final Settlement follows their investigation as they race to discover who is behind the plot, where the bomb came from and how it will be delivered. Their journey leads them to Paris, Athens, Bulgaria and the Greek island of Corfu. In the frantic hours before the deadline, Jack is confronted in Jerusalem by others who have a different agenda, and their own plan for the bomb.
