First Paragraph

Half a dozen men dressed in khaki arrived - prudently, in separate cars and taxis - at 85 Ben Yehudah Street on a typical summer day in Tel Aviv: a hot and humid June 30, 1948. They disappeared, individually, into the whitewashed apartment building that was identical to the others in the ordinary residential neighborhood. Up one flight of stairs, however, behind a door with a sign saying CONSULTANCY SERVICES, was the headquarters of Shai.
