This novel begins with a horrifying but plausible post 9/11 scenario of four planes blown up by terrorists in different corners of the world. Although Israel wasn’t directly affected this time, its expertise is needed by the U.S. to investigate this tragedy. Julian Granot, retired Israeli Special Forces Commander, American journalist Marie Petersen, and FBI agent Morgan Ensley team up in an unorthodox way to prevent a mega attack that is in the works from being perpetrated on American soil. This book deals with Islamic fundamentalism, American naiveté, and security vulnerability. There is a subplot of coincidental relationships among the characters. The author is a journalist with sources in FBI counterterrorism which has inspired her to write this pageturning thriller about possible events that left this reader with nightmares.
