In today's terrifying new world, in which small groups of individuals
with unlimited resources can wreak incredible havoc and catastrophe, the
task of stopping them becomes all the more urgent and compelling. Jon
Land's latest topical thriller finds Ben Kamal and Danielle Barnea
facing just such a threat: an obsessed fanatic plotting nothing less
than the total destruction of America. Danielle, now the head of
Israel's National Police, still relies on her Palestinian-American
partner, detective Ben Kamal, currently working for a private security
firm in Boston.
When a raid on a terrorist hideout in Gaza yields flame-charred pages
written in Arabic, she sends the document to Ben for his inspection.
Shockingly, his translation reveals that the pages are actually a fatwa,
a religious edict, granting permission to bring about a biblical
prophecy known as the End of All Things. Layla Aziz Rahani, embattled
daughter of a powerful Saudi Arabian billionaire, is the mastermind
behind this insidious plot, whose apocalyptic scope and magnitude are
almost beyond comprehension.
Now Danielle and Ben, working both separately and together, must track
Rahani along a deadly trail of shadows and subterfuge that spans three
continents-before an ancient prediction becomes a very real and
irreversible disaster.
