“When the bulky manuscript [for Triple Identity] arrived, I glanced at its first page, the first sentence – and read straight through to the very last word. . . . But what about that twisting plot, those interlaced subplots, incident after curious incident? What about much more than ninety million dollars spirited from a California bank? What about the fugitive banker, real identity as elusive as he, who spirited these millions away? What of that multinational cast of bad, good, and in-between guys crisscrossing Europe and the Middle East, double-crossing one another, intent on seizing the money, stalking the man, securing materials to manufacture weapons of mass destruction? Did these spring from Haggai’s cases? From cases that others handled? From Haggai’s innovative and inventive mind? Haggai says that they’re fiction. He certainly should know. So, fiction they are. But as far as my experience goes, they nonetheless ring true. I’d say that they could have happened.”
