The date: April, 1979. The place: Toulon, France. The assignment: to destroy nuclear reactor parts bound for Iraq. The man in charge: Eli Katzar, master Israeli spy and leader of the Ezra project. His team: three talented agents, all women. The mission succeeds but at a terrible price, and Eli must discover which of the women whom he has nurtured and trusted for more than thirty years betrayed him: Aviva, the Sabra who married the man Eli chose as her co-conspirator; Lily, the Dutch Holocaust Survivor; or Charlotte, the wealthy American spy who has devoted her life to Israel-and Eli.
