Overview

Amina Rifa'ee a young Syrian woman of a respectful Syrian family refuses to marry her father's business associate. She is sent to London to study at the London School of Economy, while her rejected fiancé is compensated by her family.
At her fourth year of studies she meets Murad that persuades her to move to his place and live with him, without marriage. After hardly one year Murad who is in fact a Mossad secret agent, introduces her to his "friend" Kenneth Collins a CIA agent; who is an extremely good looking young man, and she falls in love with the American, which serves as a press attaché at the Beirut American embassy. Ken takes her to Beirut Lebanon, to train her as a secret agent.
She is identified by one of her ex fiancé's relatives and is kidnapped by the Syrian intelligence service to Damascus; where instead of being put to death as a traitor, she agrees to serve as a double agent; after thirty six hour at the Al-Maza jail in Damascus, her Syrian operator drives her back to her Beirut hideout apartment. She is torn between her love to Ken and her loyalty to Abdul Karim the head of the Syrian internal security service who is her operator, and between her loyalty to her own country.

When Ken realizes that her hideout apartment is bugged, he takes her to Ankara Turkey, and moves to serve at US embassy there; where he complete her training after eighteen months, and sends her to Syria to fulfill her mission and serve the Mossad without being aware to it.

About the Author

I could have seen it on maps much earlier, that's true, but realizing it was a stunning experience. I visited Africa east and west and was enchanted by the landscapes, the wildlife, the rain forests, its diverse population; I've visited Europe and was awed and inspired by humanity's achievements, the richness of culture and tradition; the museums, the cathedrals, the architecture old versus modern. I've learned the meaning of what a masterpiece is, spending hours before huge incredibly beautiful paintings and sculpture; wondering how on earth they have managed to do it. The huge cities, the way of life the beautiful languages, the customs, it left its marks on me and is the cause no doubt to my own efforts and to what I'm trying to reach up to this very day.
I'm married to Mira Kadman, we live in the town of Petach Tikva, near Tel Aviv where I was born, brought up and educated.
My interest in art and literature isn't limited to enjoying it as a bystander. I've had five art exhibitions in my country, served as an art critic and I'm a published author. Since 1987 I've written and published 20 books.
