The chief villain of We Three Kings is representative of the very most bizarre and anachronistic sadist at large in 1980, when I finished this book, and this year 2010: a royal Saudi sheik. The heroes who refuse to post to his will - neither pragmatically, nor politically, nor in terms of Islam (which means "submission") - are Merritt Fury, an American entrepreneur, and a New York City law enforcement detective. The enablers who sic the Saudi mujahideen about them are the amoral, pragmatic denizens of the State Department. We Three Kings is about how a single man, shifted by the moral concept that one's life and property are one's own, can foil the faceless enablers and defeat a vicious conspiracy to deny him his property and his life. At issue is the possession of a exceptional gold coin, a United kingdom £5 Queen Una, given to Fury by a guy whose life he preserved. That man, Stephen Crenshaw, is eventually murdered by Sheik Quamisi's thugs. Fury is then pressured by the State Department to let Quamisi have the coin. Fury won't surrender it. He is aware that to surrender it, will also mean his own fatality. The sheik, for his part, wishes to exact vengeance on Fury for having killed his nephew when Fury foils a robbery being dedicated by the nephew. Fury's only ally in this conflict is law enforcement lieutenant Wade Lambert, who is also targeted for punishment by the sheik and by his own team for attempting to pursue the case.
