Reviews
"The world's intelligence services are riveted by their investigations of four crashed jetliners, but a far dirtier game is afoot. Working separately at first, the Israelis and the Americans unearth traces of a well-advanced plot to explode three nuclear warheads in the heart of the sea lanes approaching New York City. Then Israeli agent Julian Granot recruits an American journalist and an FBI agent to foil the plot before Armageddon erupts. While not a roman a clef, this debut thriller by a seasoned reporter ("Remembered Gate: A Spiritual Journey") purports to arise from the experiences of a real Israeli counterterrorism expert. Combining the nuts and bolts of a technothriller with the emotional resonance of young adventurers seeking truth and honor, Benedek's very readable, densely plotted, and cagily realistic saga--squeezed into two heart-pounding weeks--will have readers anticipating further escapades for her trio. Strongly recommended for popular fiction collections." --"Library Journal "(starred review) "A fine thriller...

Synopsis
Based on real intelligence, this debut novel takes readers on a frighteninglyplausible thrill ride into the dark heart of international terrorism., Four airliners are blown out of the sky---a devastating string of attacks taking hundreds of lives and striking fear into people and governments around the globe. Marie Peterssen, an ambitious young aviation reporter, has a hunch about the crashes, and her suspicions are confirmed when she's approached by Julian Granot, an Israeli airline security expert and former Special Forces commando who has noticed her work. Julian offers Marie a rare lead, one that will send her to London and later into the devastation of war-torn Iraq. With the help of a maverick FBI agent, Morgan Ensley, Marie stumbles onto the makings of a terrorist plot well beyond the destruction of airliners: the detonation of a rogue nuclear device in New York Harbor. The terrorists know that America's most vulnerable spot is its transportation system, and they mean to exploit it. Time is short.But Marie is in the grip of circumstances beyond her control. Julian's intentions are unclear: Is he helping a journalist uncover answers the world craves, or is he setting up the girl to flush out an Islamic terrorist who killed Julian's partner twenty years earlier?Julian holds the key, but Marie's role in the frantic race to unravel the plot grows when she learns that she may be tied to the terrorist leader in a more personal way. Author Emily Benedek was writing an article on counterterrorism for "Newsweek "when she came into contact with a high-level Israeli counterterrorism expert. Due to his ongoing role in international investigations, much of what she learned in the course of their talks could only be told in a novel. What emerges from those meetings is a bone-chilling story of suspense, as thrilling as it is plausible.
