OVERVIEW

Hana Aboud is a Christian Arab Israeli lawyer trained at a Hebrew university. A great combination of expertise for a person chosen to assist on the lawsuit being pursued by a family under the United States Anti-Terrorism Act. A young woman was killed during a terrorist attack at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. She sacrificed herself to save her child. Hana is joined by Jakob, a young Jewish lawyer and a third person, David Hasan, an Arab investigator.

This case takes the three from Atlanta Georgia to Jerusalem, in their attempt to unravel what has really happened and bring closure to the woman’s family. A strong Christian message is intertwined with suspense, danger and even a bit of romance. Fans of Whitlow will particularly enjoy this book.
