The 5th book in national award-winning author Ed Mitchell's series of counter-terrorism thrillers:
Synopsis: After numerous terrorist cells in America are captured, Al-Qaeda’s leadership resorts to hiring an always-successful political assassin, the Black Camel to force America to pull out of the Middle East and Africa. As wide-scale attacks spread chaos across the country, the FBI is compelled to employ an unconventional counter-terrorism team. Can a street-smart FBI Special Agent and a jaded Israeli Mossad Field Officer stop the Black Camel? Or will the terrorist send them to their deaths and coerce America to surrender to Al-Qaeda’s demands?
