Conspiracy of Silence

Dr. Tzivia Khalon finally has her own dig in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps she can redeem herself from the disaster of a few years ago. Dropping into a pool of water, she finds some ancient artifacts that could prove the Israelites camped here after leaving Egypt. But disaster strikes the archeological dig when a plague is released from the site, workers begin to die and some of Tzivia's finds are stolen.

Cole "Tox" Russell is lured back from the dead to head up a black ops mission to find the person responsible for killing the ex-president of the United States. He's teamed up with FBI agent Kacey Cortez to build a team and cross the globe in search of a killer. Cole and Kacey haven't seen each other for several years, Kacey presuming Cole is dead. She knows who he is, but Cole only knew her by the name Haven. How long will it take him to realize who he is work with?

Their mission ties them into the disaster at Tzivia's dig in Saudi Arabia. Now they are not only searching for a killer, but also a way to stop this deadly plague. Cole and Kasey, along with the members of his team, Tzivia and her colleague Dr. Joseph Cathey crisscross several continents in search of an ancient secret organization trying to annihilate political leaders.

Here's a dynamic thriller that moves at warp speed, but I could still not read fast enough. I've been a fan of Ronie Kendig for some time, and I think this is her finest work. CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE is a riveting tale that measures up to and possibly exceeds any of Indiana Jones' expeditions or THE DIVINCI CODE. The plot is fast-paced, gut-wrenching and extremely suspenseful, zipping from DC to the Mid-East, back to New York and on to England and Spain. The characters are compelling and very realistic, having their human flaws, but still standing strong. Ms. Kendig bases her story on Numbers 16 from the Bible, along with other writings about ancient artifact, secret societies and Jewish beliefs. If military black ops and international espionage is your genre, with a little touch of romance, do not miss this compelling novel!
