Dan Gordon is a man who could tell many stories. He works
for the United States in various top-secret operations, a
CIA operative, an expert in hunting white-collar crime,
money-laundering criminals who flee with money to other
countries.
Having previously worked for the Mossad, Israel's version
of the CIA, Dan is a good candidate for a joint venture to
discover who is providing money to the terrorists,
Hezbollah. He participates in Operation Pinnochio, an
intricately weaved plan born of deceit, infiltration and
recruitment of key players to discover the Hezbollah
secrets. His pursuits take him to Paraguay, Romania and
Turkey.
In TRIANGLE OF DECEPTION, Dan finds himself arrested for a
murder he did not commit. He uses his expertise and gut
instincts to get himself out of precarious situations. As
each layer is peeled and put back together, Dan believes
he's been a pawn in a much larger operation. His cover is
blown and he wonders if he will survive to see his
children. The question is how and why has his cover been
blown?
Mr. Carmon is actually an expert in the subject matter of
spies, terrorists and white-collar crimes. TRIANGLE OF
DECEPTION is an interesting story. The opening sets up the
scenes and provides the reader with various background
information necessary to understand the mindset of
terrorists. I did, however, find the middle of the story a
little tedious when much dialogue occurred between the CIA
players and little straight-out action, even though it did
reveal pertinent and necessary information. In assessing
why this part felt tedious to me, I realized I enjoyed the
opening actions and was anxious for more action to return.
I got my wish and the story got back to the intricate
layers of lies that create the "legends" or life stories of
the operatives. I was right alongside Dan Gordon trying to
figure out if there was a mole on our side or too savvy key
players who knew how to divine the truth out of a series of
events. TRIANGLE OF DECEPTION gives readers a great view of
the CIA world and the responsibilities they have to protect
our government.
How do you penetrate the world’s most secretive and
tightly knit terrorist organization? Dan Gordon’s only
option is deception. Working undercover in a joint
CIA/Mossad mission, he’s on the hunt for the source of
funding to Hezbollah. He has infiltrated a Lebanese
network in Paraguay, only to realize the operation is far
more wide-ranging than he’s been told.
And when Dan finds himself locked in a grim Romanian
prison cell, he wonders if there’s still more that he
hasn’t been told. Was it a security leak that got him
arrested? Did the CIA make him a sacrificial lamb? Or has
he stumbled on a much bigger plot, one with the potential
to disrupt Al Qaeda’s operations in America?
