A thriller that starts very quietly, but slowly builds up pace as you become more and more engrossed in this fascinating tale which involves Persian carpets, PTSD, and duplicity. The action moves from Israel to Canada and then deep into Iran, a country that is hostile to most aspects of Western life. Dangers lie waiting in every direction, can love and cunning save the situation.......A great read, highly recommended.
