Peace before Destruction (126,500). Events surrounding synchronized terrorist attacks bring former Tel Aviv police detective Eli Heber and young Mossad agent Yoram Tal together to help Israel hunt for those responsible. The evidence they uncover points to a connection between the Israeli mafia and an evangelical Christian leader in America. But the investigation comes with costs to the two men, as Heber’s wife is murdered as a warning to stop his work, and Yoram’s stability is shaken when his father-like mentor may also have been a victim of the attacks. Pressing on, the two contend with mafia thugs, Hezbollah insurgents, a Palestinian mercenary, and an anxious Israeli military that is ready to take retributive action against the wrong target. The men learn that the mafia, who had lost access to Palestinian resources after a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine, tried to recapture its territory by destroying the peace using funds from unknowing evangelical ministries in America and the brutal force of the mercenary to remove those in its way. By the time the investigation is finished, the two men have developed a father-son-like bond that helps them overcome the greed, hate, and carnage that surround them.
This novel is for fans of both international intrigue and religious-based conspiracies, as it describes the ‘unholy’ alliance between religion, politics, and their application to foreign relations, yet it balances the crime-thriller plot with accessible characters that readers will cheer, care for, and mourn. Readers will enjoy the cultural and historical context of the story with local interest spanning Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the American South. Finally, it’s also for those concerned with current events in the ‘Holy Land’ and their spiritual and biblical significance.
