Description: In The Assistant, J. Patrick Law deftly blends the most complicated and potentially deadly facets of the modern geopolitical world into a seamless portrait of global corporate politics and the lethal business of government espionage. Skillful and inspired, it is a tale of international intrigue that marks the debut of a powerful new voice.

Set in Washington, D.C., the Middle East, and Paris, the novel invades the world's greatest intelligence -- the Israeli Mossad -- with riveting details about its operation. Law brings the Mossad into operation in America as it recruits American Jews for their ability to reach the highest levels of American government. Working as double agents out of their loyalty for Israel, they are torn by their patriotism for the U.S. but extremely focused on their ultimate objective of weakening their Arab foes. But when the son of one of those double agents stumbles across coveted information, he becomes the focal point of a chase with the Americans, the Israelis, and the Arabs in hot pursuit. Capturing him becomes the goal of the highest levels of government.

Exploring the world of influence, espionage, and power in our capital, The Assistant works from the controversial premise that spies may sometimes be great allies. With unforgettable characters and plots twists, it is a fascinating page-turner that has the stamp of authenticity.
