It may not resonate well with those who have lost their families and nationalities when they have not committed any crime worth the carnages they've been subjected to.

Jack Winnick's "Devil in False Colors" is a potent blend of thriller and contemporary topics, and he does a fantastic job incorporating themes like terrorism, anti-Israel feeling, and world politics—particularly the intricacies of Middle Eastern conflicts! A startling attack on a Jewish preschool draws FBI agent Lara and Mossad agent Uri into a complex investigation with political and historical undertones.
