“Devil in False Colors” by Jack Winnick is the 3rd book in Winnick’s fictional 5-book Lara and Uri series. This story begins with a massacre of five young Jewish children in their classroom. The bodies were mutilated by the terrorists and this act really turned my stomach. To kill innocent children is a horrendous act that will drive Lara and Uri to hunt down the perpetrators and their leader. A fictional story that could happen because of the hate in our world especially between Jihad extremists and Jewish people. This reminds me of the Russian missiles that have been fired at Ukrainian schools and hospitals that have killed innocent children. These acts cannot be tolerated, and the perps must be hunted down and brought to justice. I highly recommend this geopolitical thriller and Winnick's other four books. Very good review.

"Devil in False Colors" sounds like an intense and thought-provoking thriller. The blend of geopolitical intrigue, historical events, and developed characters like Uri and Lara makes it fascinating. I’m particularly interested in how the author puts together these elements and addresses matters such as international terrorism and anti-Israel sentiment. This book sounds interesting. Thank you for the amazing review!

I just discovered this book on the site and can't wait to read it. A lot of times, fiction is used to uncover the truth. I have a feeling this might be one of those times.

The book was a thriller, starting from the premise, the mission, and the romantic aspect. The author was bravely entwined his novel with sensitive geopolitical issues, which felt unnatural as fiction, but are rooted to real circumstances. But coming to the main substance of the plot, I enjoyed every bit of it.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller novel following two government agents tasked with preventing a future terrorist attack following an attack on a preschool. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
