Desert Fire

Bestselling award-winning author, David Hagberg, returns with the most explosive global thriller since The Sum of All Fears and the most terrifing assassin since Frederick Forsythe's "Jackal." He is none other than Joseph Assad Sherif, Saddam Hussein's most accomplished killer and the world's foremost expert in the art of massacre. His victims include the 1972 Israeli Olympic athletes, the 20,000 slaughtered citizens of Hamma, Syria and Ali Nasir's entire South Yemen cabinet. Now Saddam is about to procure a 1200-megawatt neutron source reactor, which will guarantee Saddam unlimited bomb-grade plutonium. Those blocking the sale are to be eliminated by Sherif and his beautiful but murderous daughter, Leila. Sherif, a brutal sexual Psychopath, has also left a bloody trail of blonde Frauleins in his wake. The West's finest criminal investigator is on his case and is soon pursuing him across Germany. But when he corners him in Germany's biggest nuclear power plant, which Sherif plans to blow to pieces, the hunter will become the hunted - and Desert Fire will soar to its spectacalarly violent climax.
