Former US Deputy Marshal Jack Parker was tough, rough and relentless in tracking criminals. So when he felt forced to retire from the US Marshals Service he used those same skills to track down a Nazi artifact in Iraq worth millions of dollars. In his pursuit of a fast payday he sets in motion a series of events that has the CIA, Mossad, Al Qaeda and the Iraqi Army all chasing after him. He escapes from one pursuer after another and when he gives in to a desire for payback he inadvertently manipulates trigger happy governments to the brink of the next Middle East war. In a land where lying is an artform, he has to find friends and the truth to survive, and in a high stakes game where the outcome is life or death, he goes all in against the odds.
