Product Description
Product Description
A middle-aged attorney named Jonathan Miracle is suddenly tapped by the CIA to try a case in Jerusalem. He reluctantly agrees, realizing later that he will have to make public MK-ULTRA, the covert CIA operation which introduced LSD into the U.S. population. Next his curiosity and stubbornness propel him into the lives of Sylvia Grieg, her ex-husband who is hiding out in Egypt with her children, Mona and Tarif. Miracle surreptitiously gains entry into the ex-husband's apartment in Cairo and finds a laboratory for making dangerous biotoxins. Jonathan's self-imposed mission becomes even more complicated as he is now faced with rescuing Sylvia's children and deconstructing the activities and plot in which her ex-husband seems to be involved. Miracle at times believes that he is a pawn in the hands of the CIA and that Sylvia is part of it too. He is torn between his intuitive assessment of the situation and his objective lawyerly analysis, which leaves nearly everyone a villain of some sort. Which "truth" is real is the question which haunts Jonathan to the dramatic end of this story.
About the Author
Judith A. Nagib, author of MK-ULTRA, was born in Chicago and attended schools and universities there as well as in Los Angeles and San Francisco. She has visited Europe and the Middle East often. Her time is spent traveling, writing both fiction and non-fiction, and advocating for the mentally ill, the homeless, and the drug-addicted. Eventually she intends to settle down to teach psychology in a small college somewhere on the East Coast. MK-ULTRA was written while she was a graduate student in Los Angeles and is a product of her imagination. As such it bears no intentional resemblance to real people or situations.
