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.
