Chasing Shadows: A Special Agent's Lifelong Hunt to Bring a Cold War Assassin to Justice

A former US State Department intelligence officer recounts his efforts to solve a 1973 cold case murder in this true crime memoir.

“Thrillers don’t get any better than this, but this spine-tingling story is real.” —Ronald Kessler, author of In the President’s Secret Service and The Terrorist Watch

On a warm Saturday night in July 1973 in Bethesda, Maryland, a gunman stepped out from behind a tree and fired five point-blank shots into Joe Alon, an unassuming Israeli Air Force pilot and family man. Alon’s sixteen-year-old neighbor, Fred Burton, was deeply shocked by this crime that rocked his sleepy suburban neighborhood. But despite the best efforts of police, the assassin was never found and the motive remained a mystery. The case remained unsolved until 2007, when former counter-terrorism special agent Fred Burton reopened the investigation. Published to widespread praise, Chasing Shadows is the gripping tale of the secret agents, double-dealings, terrorists, and heroes Burton encounters as he chases leads around the globe in an effort to solve this decades-old murder.
