THURSDAY AT NOON IBD

Sinopse

Treachery and double-dealing are the rule in this spy vs spy thriller. 4.3 Stars on 380 Reader ReviewsA dead Mossad agent, Nazi rocket scientists, the Moslem Brotherhood, a corrupt American ambassador, and two missing Egyptian tank regiments - somebodyâÇÖs trying to start another Arab-Israeli war.Richard Thomson is a burnt-out CIA agent who the Agency dumped in Egypt because they couldnâÇÖt think of a worse place to send him. Already gnawed on by Langley and set-up by the Cairo police, his day canâÇÖt get much worse, until someone leaves a dead body on the rear steps of his hotel with its head lopped off like a ripe melon.A message? No doubt about it. The body belongs to Mahmoud Yussuf, a fat, petty thief and wannabe spy who is peddling photographs of a long-abandoned RAF base in the Egyptian desert.While the world focuses on Russian missiles in Cuba, no one notices the ones being rolled out in the Egyptian desert pointed at Israel, no one, except Thomson.Alone and on the run, no one believes his story -- not the CIA, the US Ambassador, and most assuredly not Captain Hassan Saleh, Chief of the Homicide Bureau of the Cairo Police, who wants to hang Thomson for murder.Like Night of the Generals, this is a murder mystery wrapped inside an international political thriller. Tick Toc, Tick Toc, itâÇÖs all going to start at Noon on Thursday, unless Thompson can stop them.This Cold War spy thriller will sweep you back to when John Kennedy was in the White House, Nikita Khrushchev ruled the Kremlin, and Abdel, Gamal Nasser sat precariously in Cairo, threatened by the radical Islamist fringe of the Moslem Brotherhood.Looking for a good beach book or something to curl up with in front of the fire, this fast-moving conspiracy thriller is from the author ofáBurkeâÇÖs War, BurkeâÇÖs Gamble, BurkeâÇÖs Revenge, BurkeâÇÖs Samovar, the new BurkeâÇÖs Mandarin and the forthcoming BurkeâÇÖs Rescue, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon,áWinner Lose All,áandáAim True, My Brothers,áas well asátheáOur Vietnam War series, Volumes 1-4,áwith interviews and photos from 240 American and allied Veterans.
