Opening paragraphs....................................


     It was Professor Solomon Rosner who sounded the first  alarm, though his name would never be linked to the affair except in the secure rooms of a drab office building in downtown Tel Aviv.  Gabriel Allon, the legendary but wayward son of Israeli intelligence, would later observe that Rosner was the first asset in the annals of Office history to have proven more useful to them dead than alive.  Those who overheard the remark found it uncharacteristically callous but in keeping with the bleak mood that be then had settled over them all.
