Then … Four-hundred years ago, a beautiful, virgin peasant girl was taken from her parents and given to the Sultan of Patani by the Shogun of Japan in exchange for the ivory tusk of a Holy White Elephant. The Shogun believes the tusk possesses aphrodisiac powers which will cure his inability to sire a male child to assure the lines of succession. The Sleeping Cat Scroll, a secret Chinese medical text, accompanies the tusk and reveals the highly-guarded formula for using the sacred ivory. The Ivory Monkeys statue, reputedly carved from this tusk, has been hidden from the world by Buddhist monks for four-hundred years.

Now …The ancient scroll has recently surfaced on the Asian antiquities black market. Art smugglers and organized crime syndicates from Japan and New York race against time and rivals, attempting to decipher the hidden clues which, they believe, will lead them to the priceless Ivory Monkeys. Caught in this web of mystery, intrigue, ancient text and murder, is Jack Tocklin, a small-time  smuggler who suddenly sees a chance for the score-of-a-lifetime … that is, if he can stay alive.

A new book by veteran CIA analyst Terence Thompson explores the psychology of betrayal in the espionage community. Why do smart people who have been aggressively screened for undesirable past behaviors betray the trust placed in them and turn on those who have trusted them. He examines phenomena such as fear of failure, psychological hardiness, acquisitiveness and envy, juxtaposed against counterbalancing factors such as character, loyalty and trustworthiness. He dissects the most important spy cases of our time, such as Aldridge Ames and Bob Hanssen, and draws conclusions that can help to avoid similar cases in the future. In essence, he applies the latest psychological theories to explain the decision to commit espionage and concludes that in the age old conflict between the inherent forces of good versus evil, sometimes evil wins out.
