Samenvatting:

Energy lawyer Ray Culver is recruited by the CIA to move to the Middle East, where his legal business trips serve as cover for CIA missions. Ray develops a theory that behind the public face of Al Queda is a powerful member of the Saudi royal family, code-named the Camel Spider. Under the guise of his travels as a lawyer, he hunts the Camel Spider's network from Pakistan to North Africa, uncovering layers of deception. Ray learns that the men behind Al Queda have economic motives, as well as religious ones. When his cover is blown, Ray finds himself caught in the power struggle among oil producing nations in the Middle East. Are the terrorists motivated by religion - or the price of oil?
