The intelligence thrillers that Haggai Carmon authors are inspired by the sensitive undercover work he performed for two decades. The U.S. Department of Justice and other government agencies assigned him with the worldwide responsibility (except for the U.S.) for gathering foreign intelligence that required undercover work in more than thirty countries. The thrillers describe CIA/MOSSAD cooperation where the protagonist Dan Gordon, a Mossad veteran now working for the U.S Department of Justice in foreign intelligence gathering, discovers that the seemingly routine cases he is handling are espionage or terrorist related.

To date, Haggai Carmon has written five novels in the Dan Gordon Intelligence Thriller® series: Triple Identity, The Red Syndrome, The Chameleon Conspiracy, Triangle of Deception and Defection Games.
