Book Description
Inside a hidden missile launch facility in northeastern Iran, conservative revolutionaries plan to discredit the reformist government by firing a long range nuclear missile at Israel, a missile to be guided by a stolen American guidance system. The conspirators use the Russian Mafia working out of Canada to obtain the system from an American defense contractor. The planned Jihad begins to falter when spiritual forces thousands of miles apart sound warnings to their believers. In response, the Organizatsiya dispatches its ruthless crime boss, The Dark Man, to Canada to salvage the conspiracy and eliminate two maverick members of the syndicate. The task of preventing the missile launch ultimately falls to American DEA Agent Josef Gerona and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. While trying to foil The Dark Man’s plans and save a Russian artist and his brother, a professional hockey player, they find the mystical intervention of an Indian medicine man and a voodoo priestess indispensable, yet unexplainable.
