The Stay-Behind Girls United by secrets in an old family journal, a wounded ex-soldier and a troubled artist plunge into the underworld of Eastern Europe, seeking to dismantle a gang of human traffickers which destroyed both their families.  For Jacob Timmerman, youngest son of a Jewish immigrant family, running away to join the Israeli Army
was supposed to help him live up to his family's heroic legacy, to forge a connection with the father he
never knew. But a near-fatal shooting ends his time as a soldier, and Jacob, an aspiring writer, finds
himself adrift – until his father's past crawls out of the shadows, nearly costing him the only family he has left.
The brazen attack, carried out by the Vory v Balta, a vicious gang of human traffickers, leaves Jacob haunted by the shooter's dying words: You will pay for what your father stole – the girl is ours. Though the girl is a mystery, finding her first isn't just Jacob's best chance to uncover the truth about his father's murder; it's the only way to prevent tragedy from repeating. Aided by a secret journal kept by his mother, he locates Hailey Eliot, an artist-in-residence at a Venetian convent. Born to a prostitute killed by the same gang, Hailey is struggling to paint through terrifying visions - which keep leading her straight to the VVB. Yet the visions aren't her only gift: she has a mysterious ability to heal Jacob, body, mind and soul. With the gang closing in, they uncover secrets hidden in abandoned safehouses and clandestine brothels across Europe. But the quest to bring their parents' killers to justice may cost Jacob something he nearly lost once - his heart. [Read an excerpt] |
The Gospel Tomb
The story of a marriage, a woman, and fragile hopes of peace, all
threatened by war in Israel’s West Bank. When gunships return to the skies over the sweltering refugee camps near Bethlehem, Nate and Micah Timmerman, devoted husband and wife, are bound together by their dreams of finding an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A committed Jewish peace activist and expert game theorist, Nate fights to get his ideas heard by a government which has soured on diplomacy. Micah, a physician with Médecins Sans Frontières and a former refugee herself, needs her medical mission to cope with the scars of losing her family during the Bosnian War. But as the war in Israel has worsened, she’s gone from delivering healthy babies and giving inoculations to digging stray bullets out of children. Nate knows she’s holding on by the slimmest of threads. During a night of intense combat, Micah makes a connection with a dying patient, who tells her of a sacred cave said to conceal miraculous powers of healing. Though she sees potential for a medical breakthrough, it's merely a symptom of what the cave truly conceals - a long-hidden message with implications for each of the Abrahamic religions. When a rumor breaks out that Micah alone knows how to access the cave's secrets, she's pitted between two groups vying for control of the power within. With their lives at stake and their faith in each other put to the test, Nate and Micah must find a way to prove that their love, hopes, and dreams can survive a protracted war. [Read an excerpt] |
