Customer Reviews

a terrifying window on extremism...

A gripping, fast-paced read, complemented with beautiful, perfectly-observed descriptions. Brooklyn comes alive in these pages, and reading the scene in the bingo parlor, I felt like I was there... The hero's growing assimilation into a terrorist cell was both believable and incredibly creepy.

Pure Page Turner

I finished this book and within 5 minutes I had put the book in a friends hands demanding they read it. I was drawn into a world that both intrigued and frightened me. The thrilling final section kept me turning the pages and I still need to find more people to talk to about it. Make this a book club selection!

pure fiction, fresh perspective

Papernick's first novel exhibits the same concentrated word power found in his short stories. No tricks, no gimmicks- the strength and clarity of Papernick's writing carries the story of one man as he struggles with the death of his father and attempts to understand the Jewish terror network that seems increasingly entwined in his legacy. The sinister atmosphere of Brooklyn's back alleys and abandoned warehouses keeps the reader in suspense until its inevitable, though somehow unexpected, end. The writing is always honest and alternately funny, sensitive and chilling. This book is not for the faint of heart and requires some commitment, the most frightening aspect being that it is entirely believable. But those who are searching for a fresh perspective on the formation of the terrorist mind and the complexities of religious extremism will find it here. Papernick creates a work of fiction in which the characters speak for themselves.
