The department has full trust on his capabilities and only he can contain the enemy before the things go out of hands. Someone has been killing the US officials at a rapid pace and one thing is clear that whoever the enemy is it is against the peace plan the president of the US is going to announce in Jerusalem.
Several Muslim countries also show peculiar behavior as the king of Saudi Arabia shows readiness to establish relation with Israel. The thing looks odd because it happens at a time when the US president is also in the region and is going to take a gigantic step in the history of mankind. Getting information and then collecting and arranging it leads Ryker to a fearful conclusion.
Someone from the underworld has finally planned to kill the US president during the peace treaty and the killing would result in an end to peace talk forever. Joel C. Rosenberg has written a wonderful story that is full of action, suspense and politics. The Kremlin Conspiracy and The Persian Gamble had politics involved but the situation was not that much serious and action was also below power as compared to this latest. George Guidall had no problem in controlling the heat in narration and the narrator has grabbed all the characters in one single tone with no pause.
