**Devil Among Us** by Jack Winnick is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. As the second installment in the Lara and Uri series, this novel can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone story. The book begins with a shocking bombing at a New York City synagogue, resulting in numerous casualties. FBI Special Agent Lara Edmond and Mossad agent Uri Levin join forces once again to uncover the truth behind this devastating attack.
The investigation initially points to members of the synagogue, but as Lara and Uri follow leads to Texas, they suspect a larger, more sinister plot involving Islamic terrorists. This twisty narrative raises crucial questions: Is there a plan to prevent the United States from aiding Israel? Why does Iran have a missile aimed at Tel Aviv? How does this connect to the New York bombing? The duo must piece together these puzzles to stop the masterminds behind these events.
Winnick masterfully shifts perspectives throughout the story, adding depth and dimension to both major and minor characters. From Yehudi Bar-lev, the teenager caught in the explosion, to Hadley Parkinson, the tough police chief, each character is well-developed and realistic. The author's deep knowledge of Middle Eastern geopolitics and historical references to World War II enriches the narrative, making it both educational and entertaining.
The fast-paced plot is packed with action, including bombings, fights, and kidnappings, making it hard to put down. Lara and Uri’s chemistry and silent communication add a unique charm to the story, providing a bright spot amidst the tension and danger.
Professionally edited with minimal errors, **Devil Among Us** is suitable for mature readers who enjoy intense, suspenseful thrillers. It's a compelling read that skillfully blends action, intrigue, and well-crafted characters, earning a well-deserved 4 out of 4 stars.
**Rating: 4/4 stars**
