Infiltrate criminal networks across the Middle East. Eastman is quickly thrown into firefights in Egypt, Iran, and Iraq-dodging rockets, surviving ambushes, and running operations with Mossad at his side. Their CIA-backed front, Crossroads USA, lures terrorists and their supporters into laundering money through the firm... and straight into one of the largest covert listening operations ever built inside Iran.
