From Library Journal:

This fourth volume of Whittemore's "Jerusalem Quartet" contains some excellent writing but is beset with problems. Given the nature of his subjecta Jew, born near Baghdad, whose life working for Israeli intelligence and then as a spy in Lebanon (finally as a double agent) coincides with Israel's entire historythis is not surprising. Whittemore appears uncertain whether he is writing fiction or political commentary, and the nonchronological narrative only adds to the confusion. There are too many characters, even if they are well drawn. And at times their intertwined relationships seem too pat even for espionage novels. Perhaps the most interesting feature is Whittemore's beautifully lyric descriptions, particularly when landscape is used to give fascinating insight into character. For larger collections.
