Book 2 in the Ash Carter Near-East series.
The year is 1949.
"Ash Carter and Bill Wolfe are in Israel hunting a group of British Army deserters known as the Killing Crew. Some people think they were a myth, others believe they were the most hated of British soldiers. In the newly formed state that’s at war with the Arab nations, hated by Jews and despised by Arabs, the two SIB officers think they face an uncomfortable task. But when they become targets, they realize this is more than just a job. It’s life or death."
