The intelligence is accurate. The source is trusted. And that may be exactly the problem.
With an Israeli strike against a sensitive Iranian target entering its final confirmation window, Lieutenant Colonel David Cohen has only minutes to decide whether the intelligence picture still holds.
It does.
With an Israeli strike against a sensitive Iranian target entering its final confirmation window, Lieutenant Colonel David Cohen has only minutes to decide whether the intelligence picture still holds.
It does.
Then one line in a classified report stops him cold.
The wording carries the echo of Leyla Jafari-an Iranian strategic analyst David once knew, trusted, and never completely forgot.
The strike goes ahead.
By morning, senior Iranian officials are dead, Tehran is searching for the penetration that made the attack possible, and Leyla's history with an Israeli intelligence officer has begun turning her into the perfect suspect.
But something about the evidence is wrong.
Not necessarily false.
Wrong.
As Iranian counterintelligence closes around Leyla and David begins questioning the extraordinarily accurate reporting stream known as Ghost Channel, both sides confront a far more dangerous possibility: an adversary does not always need to deceive you with lies.
Sometimes it only needs to give you the truth-and control what you think the truth means.
Across intelligence centres, damaged cities, diplomatic back channels and increasingly dangerous investigations, David and Leyla are pulled into a shadow war where verified facts can become weapons, loyalty can look exactly like betrayal, and an old connection between two people on opposite sides may carry consequences neither of them intended.
Because if Ghost Channel is not what Israel believes it is, the next intelligence failure will not remain inside a classified file.
It could ignite another war.
BENEATH ENEMY SKIES is a tense, intelligent espionage thriller about love, loyalty, manipulation and the deadly distance between what we know and what we believe it proves.
For readers who enjoy sophisticated international intrigue, counterintelligence investigations, moral ambiguity, slow-burning emotional tension, and suspense where the most dangerous weapon may be information itself.
