From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller/mystery story following two anti-terrorist government agents in pursuit of an individual that attacked a preschool in California. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I dont know if I could get I to a terrorist book that beheads children. Told gruesome for me! Sounds like a good book for those who love thrillers and crime books.

A massacre shocks Beverly Hills. While doing his usual patrols, officer Henderson stumbles upon a horrible murder scene at Mazeltov preschool. I'm familiar with Uri and Lara. However, I'm not one who reads mystery crime books.

Thanks for an excellent review! The sample I read had me engrossed in the book immediately. Your review was very informative. I am glad the author put in historical elements. Religious terrorism is a threat to us all, young and old alike! This sounds like a very intriguing book.

The book sounds interesting and intriguing. It seems to be fast paced and deals with pretty serious topics. But there is too much politics and religious issues for my taste so I'll pass on this one. Congratulations o becoming BOTD!

The plot sounds interesting. How did Lara and Uri cope up with their feelings amidst their operation? This is a must read thriller novel I think. Thanks for the informative review.

A nicely developed characters with a touch of international characters is a magnificent novel to read. Its a pleasure to read that the book is well edited. The novel is well-written as well because the reviewer has stated that there is nothing he dislike about the book. Thanks to the engaging review.

This book about a massacre and terrorism sounds heartbreaking, yet suspenseful. It does focus a lot on religion and current politics. Congrats on the book of the day! Great review.

Glad you enjoy it. Sadly I don't think I will be reading it. It is enough to go to the internet or watch the news and see horrors of very similar things like in this book so I don't need to read. Great review.

This book is not only a great nonfiction tale but I think it would make for a good film. The characters and the accuracy of the events in relation to factual events are quite remarkable. Congrats to the book of the day.

:tiphat: This is the third time that I am trying to write a comment. Briefly, I was saying that it is a great review as it gives an overview of what is happening in the book, both at macro and micro levels. :techie-reference: :no-spoil:

The strong political view in "Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick sort of skewed the story. Regardless, I like that its action packed and interesting.

Nuclear threats and international terrorism are certainly topics of concern that we can all identify with to some degree of worry. Politically-motivated plots, or political agendas in general, are not my preferred cup of reading tea, so I might be passing on this one specifically, but great review!
