About this ebook
DIVDIVThe third book in Edward Whittemoreâs acclaimed Jerusalem Quartet is a riveting tale of espionage and intrigue in which the outcome of World War II and the destiny of the Middle East could hinge on the true identity of one shadowy man /divDIV
On a clear night in 1941, a hand grenade explodes in a Cairo bar, taking the life of Stern, a petty gunrunner and morphine addict, nationality unknown, his aliases so numerous that itâs impossible to determine whether he was a Moslem, Christian, or Jew./divDIV
His death could easily go unnoticed as Rommelâs tanks charge through the desert in an attempt to take the Suez Canal and open the Middle East to Hitlerâs forces. Yet the mystery behind Sternâs death is a top priority for intelligence experts. Master spies from three countries converge on Joe OâSullivan Beare, who is closer to Stern than anyone, in an effort to unravel the disturbing puzzle. The search for the truth about Stern leads OâSullivan Beare through the slums of Cairo to a decaying former brothel called the Hotel Babylon, populated by unusual characters. Slowly, the mystery of Stern unravels as Whittemore explores the tragedy and yearning of one man fighting a battle for the human soul./divDIV
Nile Shadows is the third volume of the Jerusalem Quartet, which begins with Sinai Tapestry and Jerusalem Poker and concludes with Jericho Mosaic./divDIV/div/div
