Jack Ryan Jr. is on a simple job: an all-expenses-paid trip to Israel in exchange for a couple of hours' easy work, reporting back to an old friend at the CIA. What could be easier?
Jack is here merely as an observer, but as he settles into his work in the market he sees the glint of a knife and throws himself in front of a woman and her young son under attack.
With his cover blown, he finds himself the target of trained killers. Alone and outgunned, Jack must use all his skills to protect the child's life.
