A Good Action Book!

This was a unique twist in the Jon Land series that stars Ben and Danielle. In stead of being investigative officers they take on the role of action heros. The Catholic Church has a secret Army(Knights Templar) who have killed an American archeological team who undercover an ancient religious secret. Add in a radical Jewish religious order who want the Palestinians out of the area To fininsh up the interesting cast of characters add Shin Bet. Ben and Danielle spend the entire book in battle with all of the forces that have been mentioned. Ben and Danielle also do a lot of world traveling. All in all a well done book. It is definitely a page turner. You will not be dissapointed.

A PERFECT AND INTELLIGENT THRILLER!

In the world beyond the boundaries of these United States, there are more things that happen than we are ever aware of. In Jon Land's novel, "A Walk In The Darkness", we discover exactly what some of those things might be. On the ever-present verge of war, Turkey is shocked by the murder of a group of American archeologists on the brink of making an earth-shattering find: scrolls that may just throw Christianity into a frenzy. If true, the information contained in these ancient Aramaic scripts will destroy organized religion as it is currently known. They just may contain information saying that Jesus Christ was never resurrected, because he never actually died on the Cross. Called into action are Chief Inspector Danielle Barnea of Isreal's National Police, and Palestinian detective Ben Kamal...joining together amidst the heat of the Judean desert to get to the bottom of this mystery. But the scrolls in question, though missing, may not be the reason the Americans were murdered after all. Taking all of their combined ingenuity and skill, Kamal and Bernea are pursued from continent to continent once they begin to unravel the true mystery. Divided into nearly 90 bite-sized chapters, Land's novel is a humdinger of a read...drawing the readers attention on with each well-written word. Packed with action and intelligent characters, this is one book that will be difficult to put down until it is finished. Buy it today!

A continuation of a great storyline

Once again Mr. Land has given the reader a new insight into the trials and tribulations of not only two of his best characters, but of the Mid-East in general. His continuation of the characters and storyline is great. It promotes all sorts of probablities and possibilities that keep you going all the way to the last page, and then leave you wondering what the next "adventure" will be. A GREAT READ! Mr. Land is to be commended

Another great novel by Jon Land !

Ben Kamal and Danielle Barnea are back in their 3rd novel. Fantastic plot and I applaud Jon Land for another great story !

Excellent political thriller

Ben Kamal grew up in the United States, married an American woman, and had children with her. The disappearance of his brother had minimal impact on Ben because he led a contented happy life. His satisfying lifestyle abruptly ended when a psychopath murdered his family. A distraught Ben returned to his ancestral home in Israel, becoming a detective for the Palestini government. His is unable to shed his feelings of isolation and loneliness until he falls in love with Chief Inspector Danielle Barnea of Israel's National Police Force. They forge a relationship out of love despite the hostilities of their warring people. When Danielle discovers she is pregnant, she decides to raise the child by herself rather than alienate Israeli society. However, Danielle and Ben are forced to work together on a case involving twelve murdered archeologists. The investigation takes a personal twist for Ben when one of the victims turns out to be his nephew. Danielle and Ben soon learn that the archeologists found an ancient box buried in a cave that contained information that could destroy the foundation of the Catholic Church. Soon the law enforcement couple find themselves on the run from zealots guarding a secret that forces them to kill those who come too close to discovering the truth they want to keep hidden. This political thriller starts out at the speed of a supersonic jet and just gets tenser and faster until the story line completes its unexpected but believable run. A WALK IN THE DARKNESS is a novel of high drama and emotional poignancy that provides the audience an opportunity to understand many aspects of the culture, religion, and politics of Palestinians inside the framework of the Israeli government. Jon Land continues to write tales that place him along side genre greats like Cussler, Clancy, and DeMille.
