The two men came at dinnertime on Friday night to murder a young rabbi and his family. They didn't say why. They didn't say who sent them. Fortunately, Gidon Aronson was at the right place at the right time. Gidon, a former member of an elite Israeli special operations unit, must not only protect the clergyman, but also peel back the layers of the man's personal and professional lives to get at a secret not even the target knows, or admits. Gidon's inquiries soon place him in the crosshairs as well, and lead him from the United States to Israel and the Gaza Strip. In his search, Gidon not only uncovers more questions, but in the process must also face his own demons from past Israeli operations.
