Description: In a chilling mirror of today's headlines, The Nylon Hand of God opens with a bomb attack on the Israeli Consulate in New York City. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Lieutenant Colonel Benni Baum of Israeli Military Intelligence is hammering out the final details of a crucial prisoner exchange between the Israelis and the Iranian-backed fundamentalists. Although the timing of the swap is critical, Baum's commander orders him to America to work on the consulate attack.

When Baum picks up the trail of the bomber, he finds himself pitted against German terrorist Martina Klump, a beautiful and ruthless operator determined to disrupt the Middle East peace process. The brilliant intelligence officer has finally met his match as Klump outwits and outmaneuvers him, determined to wreak havoc on the prisoner swap and exact revenge for a terrible betrayal.
