Alon's sixteen-year-old neighbor, Fred Burton, was deeply shocked by this crime that rocked his sleepy suburban neighborhood. As it turned out, Alon wasn't just a pilot—he was a high-ranking military official and with intelligence ties. The assassin was never found and the case was closed. In 2007, Fred Burton—who had since become a State Department counterterrorism special agent—reopened the case. Here, in \u003ci\u003eChasing Shadows,\u003c\/i\u003e Burton spins a gripping tale of the secret agents, double dealings, terrorists and heroes he encounters he chases leads around the globe in an effort to solve this decades-old murder. From swirling dogfights over Egypt and Hanoi to gun battles on the streets of Beirut, this action-packed thriller looks in the dark heart of the Cold War to show power is uses, misused, and sold to the most convenient bidder.","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046782451952,"sku":"9780230620551","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780230620551_p0.jpg?v=1763780938","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780230620551","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
