Henry Ellis becomes embroiled in an international incident when a chartered Iberian Air jet loaded with American high school students, including his twin son and daughter, is hijacked.
Beneath the façade of a simple hijacking by Palestinian terrorists there is a much deeper plot, one that involves the overt Basque separatist group known as ETA, a covert Catlan separatist cabal led by a clique of men who are holdovers from the Spanish Civil War, and, hidden even deeper in the confused trail of deception an ex-CIA agent driven by an obession for revenge.
While Henry acts to save his children from their fate at the hands of the hijackers, the twins, Jennie and Theo, are drawn into a contest of wills with the Palestinian terrorist known as Scarface. In a bizarre turn of events, Henry Ellis strikes an unholy bargain with the infamous international terrorist assassin, El S'Khah. |
