The settings were a regular tour of historic places in the holy land. I liked the biblical history lessons interwoven with the romance and suspense. And, as always, I enjoyed the touches of Ms. Peters' good sense of humor. ( )Very much like "The Jackal's Head" and "The Night of the Four Thousand Rabbits". Set in the Middle East amid the culture of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Once again, the man least suspected is the one that proves to be the romantic interest. An enjoyable caper! Dinah goes to Israel as a way to help her father see the world. She ends up hearing a fatal fight, which sets intrigue in motion. She is followed and two men fight to gain her trust. Will she choose the right one? It was the start of a grand adventure in a land of antiquity, a rare opportunity to visit biblical places shrouded in mystery. But in a Jerusalem hotel room a world away from everything she knows, Dinah van der Lyn hears angry voices through the wall, followed by a crash and a brief cry in English...for help! The brutal shattering of an evening's stillness becomes a prelude to terror. Without warning, Dinah has been unwittingly pulled into something unholy transpiring in a sacred city, and she must find answers hidden in the shadows. And she must trust an enigmatic stranger as she races through ancient, twisting streets teeming with secrets and peril, a man who may be leading her to safety...or to her doom. no reviews | add a review
