Terrorism is a serious matter, and those who perpetuate it often resort to the most heinous acts of violence to spread fear and carry out their hate-filled agenda. Devil in False Colors sheds light on the devastating consequences of terrorism, as seen through the eyes of innocent children who fall victim to its brutality. The book follows the journey of Lara and Uri as they undertake the dangerous task of putting an end to this destructive force. Written by Jack Winnick, this book raises important questions about the nature of terrorism and the lengths people will go to put an end to it.

The peaceful community of Beverly Hills was shattered when a brutal insurgent group targeted the Mazeltov preschool, resulting in the horrific killing of five young Jewish children. In response, the top-notch duo of Uri Levin, a seasoned Mossad agent, and Lara Edmond, an accomplished FBI agent, were dispatched to Los Angeles to track down and stop the perpetrators of this heinous act of terrorism. As they delve deep into Muslim society, they put themselves in harm's way to gather intelligence and neutralize the threat. The book is a heart-pounding thriller that depicts the ongoing struggle against terrorism as the terrorists carry out a series of vicious attacks on Jewish and Sunni Muslim groups with the support of Iran and Russia. The story raises the question of how the United States of America will respond to this dangerous situation and if the Iranians will ultimately succeed in their malicious endeavors.

I was thoroughly impressed with the author's storytelling abilities in the book. The events were depicted with intricate detail, allowing the reader to comprehend and understand what was happening fully. For instance, the attack on the Sunni Mosque was described with such vividness that I couldn't help but admire the writer's talent. Similarly, the attack on the Jewish congregation during Purim was masterfully explained, highlighting the flaws in the plan and how it deviated from a minor mishap.

Jack Winnick's masterful storytelling sheds light on the discriminatory nature of humanity, revealing how people can justify violence when they become fanatics about their religion. This thought-provoking narrative is a source of numerous life lessons for the reader. I couldn't find anything to dislike about the book.

This intense thriller left nothing to be desired. The reader is kept on edge from start to finish with its unpredictable twists and high-speed action. Not a single dull moment can be found, making it impossible to put the book down. The language used is accessible, making it a pleasure to read for a wider range of audiences. I wholeheartedly award this book 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to fans of action, suspense, and international espionage. This book is sure to captivate and enthrall readers, delivering an unforgettable reading experience. The book was also exceptionally well edited.

I love that the review's mention of the book being free of errors. While it may seem like a small thing, as a reader, I find it frustrating when a book is riddled with typos or grammatical mistakes. A well-edited book can make for a smoother and more enjoyable reading experience, so it's good to know that Devil in False Colors meets this standard.

Having to watch your back as the title implies when you're around family and friends can be very stressful. Not knowing who you can depend on is another ball game altogether.

Encouraging violence with religion as a base is not in any way reasonable and I feel that the would would be a better place by self definition with or without religion.
