"Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick'sn start with a tragic massacre at a Jewish preschool, seemingly by Arabic-speaking terrorists seems to engage readers from the start. Israeli Mossad agent Uri Levin and FBI agent Lara Edmond reunite to investigate, rekindling past feelings and showing readers more than just an action/thriller. The novel excels in its geopolitical insights, addressing terrorism, Iran’s nuclear threat, and anti-Israel sentiments (which are ongoing issues in real-life). Well-developed characters and a great plot make it a seemingly good read.

"Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick is a gripping thriller that begins with a brutal attack on a Jewish preschool in a wealthy California suburb, leaving five children dead. The world is horrified, believing it to be a hate crime committed by Arabic-speaking terrorists. Enter Uri Levin, an Israeli Mossad assassin who goes undercover to assist FBI agent Lara Edmond in the investigation. Uri and Lara share a history, having worked together and been romantically involved, which adds depth to their renewed partnership.
Winnick’s strength lies in his ability to weave real geopolitical issues into his fictional narrative. The novel tackles critical themes such as international terrorism, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Russia’s murky involvement in global conflicts. The author skillfully integrates historical events, creating a plot that feels both current and realistic.
The characters are well-crafted, especially Lara, who stands out as a fiercely independent and competent FBI agent with a strong background in computer science. Her character adds a layer of expertise and determination that drives the investigation forward. Uri’s undercover work and past with Lara add tension and intrigue to the story.
Winnick’s portrayal of the geopolitical landscape, including the creation of Israel and the divisions within the Muslim world, is detailed and informative. He effectively presents complex issues in an accessible manner, making the reader think deeply about the subjects at hand.
However, the book does touch on politically charged topics that might not sit well with all readers. Despite this, the narrative remains compelling and thought-provoking.
Overall, "Devil in False Colors" is a well-written, fast-paced thriller with minor errors. I highly recommend it to fans of political thrillers and international intrigue.
**Rating: 4 out of 4 stars**
