Thursday at Noon - a Middle East...

William F. Brown

Treachery and double-dealing are the rule in this spy vs spy thriller. Exciting, and Fast Paced. 
A dead Mossad agent, Nazi rocket scientists, the Moslem Brotherhood, a corrupt American ambassador, and two missing Egyptian tank regiments – somebody’s trying to start another Arab-Israeli war. 
Richard Thomson is a burnt-out CIA agent who the Agency dumped in Egypt because they couldn’t think of a worse place to send him. Already gnawed on by Langley and set-up by the Cairo police, his day can't get much worse, until someone leaves a dead body on the rear steps of his hotel with its head lopped off like a ripe melon. 
A message? No doubt about it. While the world focuses on Russian missiles in Cuba, no one notices the ones being rolled out in the Egyptian desert pointed at Israel, no one, except Thomson. 
Like Night of the Generals, this is a murder mystery wrapped inside an international political thriller. Tick Toc, Tick Toc, it's all going to start at Noon on Thursday, unless Thompson can stop them.
