CHAPTER Four.
"I am willing to use all means--all methods." Ahmed knew the Dead Sea.

He knew its moods and a few of its tricks, so he was suitably scared.

They were frankly disobedient of any law except their own; respectful of nothing but bullets, brains and their own interpretation of the Will of Allah.
