Description
Bestselling author Robert Whitlow dives deep into the legal ramifications of a tragic event half a world away and how it affects two lawyers in Atlanta from vastly different backgrounds. When Hana Abboud walked into the conference room, she was unprepared for the images of a horrific terrorist attack near the Western Wall in Jerusalem. But after watching a courageous mother sacrifice her life to save her four-year-old daughter, Hana knew she needed to help attorney Jakob Brodsky represent the family's pursuit of justice against those who perpetrate acts of violent jihad. As an Arab Israeli lawyer trained at Hebrew University, Hana is uniquely qualified to step into the gap. But they need a third partner, an investigator on the ground to help them unravel the snake pit of connections between the terrorists and an organization or company that can be sued in the American courts. Hana returns home to Israel and meets with investigator Hamid Hasan who quickly becomes more than a crucial part of the litigation team. As Jakob and Hana investigate the case in the US, he is stalked on the streets of Atlanta by affiliates of a terrorist organization. Their pursuit of truth can only be resolved where it began: the streets of Jerusalem. But who can they trust? How deep does deceit go? Can two lawyers and a shadowy investigator impact the kind of violence and terror that has become common in our broken world?
Description
During a terrorist attack near the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a mother sacrifices her life to save her four-year-old daughter. Hana Abboud, a Christian Arab based in Atlanta, is called in to take point on the case. She joins forces with Jacob Brodsky, a Jewish lawyer pursuing a lawsuit on behalf of the woman's family under US Anti-Terrorism laws. Seeking to unravel the connections between the terrorists and an organization or company that can be sued in the American courts, Hana discovers hidden motives... and the threat of death. -- adapted from back cover
