Urban goes to Israel to find a fellow German who was kidnapped, possibly by terrorists. His body turns up on the shore of the Dead Sea. The only clue is the fake ruby in the dead man's sock. The trail reveals that the Palestinians have stolen a cache of Israeli rubies that will enable the Russians to expand their laser warfare capabilities.
