Ali Muhami, the American attorney, the trusted infidel, invited to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to manage the security of the oil pipeline and the industrial city, was bestowed with the highest government security clearances for which he was blackmailed by Colonel Abdullah leading the military coup d'etat to overthrow the King and the Royal family in order to hold democratic parliamentary elections and institute reforms of religious freedom and pluralism, thus transforming Saudi Arabia and Islam forever.
Blackmailed into betraying the leaders of the Islamic terrorist group, Al Jihad, so the Colonel could kill them all on Christmas day and foil their plot to sabotage the oil pipeline, incite a holy war and behead the King and the Royal family, Ali was tortured by the fear of losing his own head videoed at the edge of the Red Sea, a humiliating spectacle of his ear-to-ear decapitation shown to the whole world.
The guilt he felt, loathing himself while he deceived everyone...Jalal, Ali, Sahir, Bilal, Marwan, Aziz, Steve, Dave, and Jerry, the friends he would lose. And what of Diane, Alya, and Jennifer...and the love he would lose ? The day he was first told by the Colonel they knew from his own words his thoughts, his opinions and what he believed in, began the paranoia that crept deep into his mind. There was no escape from a country you couldn't leave without permission.
From the honest, trustworthy man of integrity they believed him to be, above reproach, to the fateful day when they began to suspect him and distrust him, the seeds of discontent began swirling like sand in a desert storm...plotting a tale of blackmail, betrayal, palace intrigue, Islamic terrorism, sabotage, and a coup to overthrow the King. How Ali was proclaimed a patriot, awarded the civilian Medal of Honor leaving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a hero, is a story you would not believe, except so much of what you'll read was true.
