<DIV><DIV><b>The stunning conclusion to Edward Whittemore&rsquo;s Jerusalem Quartet: The remarkable story of an Israeli agent who infiltrates Syrian intelligence, keying victory in the Six Day War</b></div><DIV><BR>Yossi is an ideal agent for the Mossad&mdash;an Iraqi Jew, an idealist, and a charming loner, fluent in Arab dialects. Tajar, a brilliant agent, recruits and manages Yossi, code-named &ldquo;the Runner.&rdquo; Thus begins the longest-running and most successful operation in the history of Israeli intelligence. Yossi&rsquo;s cover is Halim, a Syrian businessman who has returned home from Buenos Aires and whose charm inspires high-level friendships. His reputation leads to an opportunity that he can&rsquo;t refuse: Tajar becomes a double agent infiltrating Syrian intelligence.</div><DIV><BR>Meanwhile, in the desert oasis of Jericho, Abu Musa, an Arab patriarch, and Moses the Ethiopian, meet each day over games of shesh-besh and glasses of Arak to ponder history and humanity. We learn about the friendship of Yossi&rsquo;s son, Assaf, an Israeli soldier badly wounded during the Six Day War, and Yousef, a young Arab teacher who, in support of the Palestinian cause, decides to live as an exile in the Judean wilderness.</div><DIV><i><BR>Jericho Mosaic </i>is the final volume of the Jerusalem Quartet, which begins with <i>Sinai Tapestry</i>, <i>Jerusalem Poker</i>, and <i>Nile Shadows</i>. Steeped in the history and landscape of the Middle East, it is a story of idealism and dreams, hope and despair, and life&rsquo;s moments of breathtaking beauty.</div><DIV></div></div>
