"He's right," Gideon Cohen said. "No adverse publicity. No air strikes."

"I like it," the general said. "Get on with it." works directly for the President. You'll find him most useful. I'll put Dillon on."

A moment later, Dillon said in bad Hebrew, "How are you, you lying dog?"

"Dillon, we seem to have business together." They switched into English. "I'm not sure how we'll do this," Dillon said. "If we're to blow this Fortuna out of the water, we'll need mines, Semtex, some scuba equipment."

"We'll take care of it. We'll keep it low-key. Myself, Levy, my sister. With you and this American, that's five. We don't want to draw attention, although things have changed since you operated in Beirut, my friend. It's not quite the war zone it used to be. People are trying to build up the infrastructure again, tourism and so on."

"Where would Fox stay? Beirut?"

"No, there's an old Moorish palace in Al Shariz that has been refurbished as a hotel. I'd say he'll be there. It's called the Golden House."

"No good for us, then."

"No problem. We'll come up on a motor yacht, like tourists. You and your friends can stay on board."

"We can't exactly sit in the bar at the Golden House, though. We don't want Fox to know it's us. It'd be much better if he thought it was an Israeli job."

"Do you recall my sister Anya?"

"How could I forget? She played a lady of the night better than a lady of the night."

"Enough to ensnare this Fox."

Dillon laughed. "Enough to ensnare friend Fox."

"You and Johnson, Levy and myself, we'll stay on our boat, the Pamir, well out of the way. Anya can squeeze what she can out of the guy. We'll send the Fortuna down when we're ready."

"You Israelis are such morally committed people," Dillon said. "But you'll sink that boat, crew and all, without a flicker."

"Not even half a flicker," Cohen said. "See you soon."

Dillon hung up, and Ferguson said, "So, here we go again."

Hannah Bernstein said, "What about me, sir?"

"Not this one, Superintendent. Dillon and Blake, plus our friends from Mossad, are enough. What I'd like you to do is get a little more basic with friend Regan as regards the bunker in County Louth." He turned to Roper. "I'm sure the Major here will be more than willing to help."

"A pleasure, sir," Roper said.

"Sony, Hannah, I'll have to love you and leave you." Dillon turned to Blake and smiled, a strange excitement there. "Here we go, old buddy, back to the war zone again."
