He claims to have received death\\nthreats because of the touchy subject matter (he portrays the\\nQu'ran as intentionally flawed and depicts the assassination of the\\nProphet Mohammed). Expect this to make headlines upon its release.\\n[See Prepub Alert, LJ 3\/15\/08.] Background: Trying to escape the\\nlife of a cover operative for Homeland Security, Scott Harvath and\\ngirlfriend Tracy are enjoying the quiet life when an explosion\\noccurs near a cafE in Paris.
