"Roger Hoffman's use of language brings the reader directly into the backrooms and battlefields where the story comes to life... his writing is unique and exciting and he should be taken seriously as a new writer."

- Los Angeles Times

What if one arrest in Dallas opened the door to a covert war in the Middle East?

Door Number Three is a high-velocity thriller inspired by real events that rocked Dallas politics and reached deep into the world of American intelligence.

The story begins with an FBI corruption sting that brings down Dallas City Councilman Paul Fielding-and pulls Roger Hoffman into a world he never imagined.

Facing prison, Hoffman makes a decision that changes his life forever. In the process, he forms an unlikely bond with the man who arrests him: FBI Special Agent Don Sherman. What begins as a corruption investigation soon becomes something much bigger.

After Fielding's trial ends, Hoffman is quietly recruited by the CIA and reborn under a new identity: Michael Eastman.

His cover: an investment bank in Las Vegas owned by a powerful casino empire.

His real mission: infiltrate criminal networks that stretch from America to the Middle East.

Thrown into a shadow war across Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, Eastman dodges rockets, survives ambushes, and works alongside Mossad operatives to build one of the most daring intelligence operations ever attempted. Their CIA-backed front company, Crossroads USA, draws terrorists and their financiers into laundering money through the firm-feeding intelligence directly into one of the largest covert listening operations ever built inside Iran.

It's dangerous.

It's explosive.

And it's all set in motion by one arrest in Dallas.

But at the heart of Door Number Three is something even more powerful than espionage-the unlikely friendship, and eventual brotherhood, between two men who once stood on opposite sides of the law.

Inspired by true events.

Driven by loyalty.

Powered by courage.

Open the door.

The ride doesn't slow down.
