Beautiful, brilliant, sworn to a lifetime of vengeance, Leora Baruch hurls herself into acts of daring, enduring prison and torture as a crack member of M-18-- Israel's feared anti-terrorist force. From the capitals of Europe and America back to the sizzling Middle East, Leora uncovers a stunning plot to sabotage Israeli-Egyptian peace forever. And suddenly, she finds herself rushing to a shattering confrontation with the quarry who has long eluded her-- the master assassin known only as "the Sword."
A WOMAN OF VALOR, with a new turn on every page, is a fine read.
