Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

I am thrilled to announce that Simon and Schuster will be publishing my second novel, The Sword of David, and it will be available nationwide September 7th, 2021.

The novel is an action-packed thriller with Da Vinci Code historical elements woven into a modern-day spy novel.

Featuring many of the same characters from my previous novel, The Last Inauguration, my new novel is based on extensive research, including travel to Israel, London, Paris, Rome and Istanbul, and puts you alongside the protagonist, Chaim Klein, on a fast-paced journey around the world.

The Sword of David starts in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. on the day the Romans destroyed the city and Temple Mount and explains the disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments. The story then jumps to present day where a Hamas homicide bomber infiltrates the Western Wall Plaza killing hundreds. Mourning the tragedy of this attack deep inside the Temple Mount, where Klein works as an archeologist, he stumbles upon the long-lost Ark of the Covenant. That sets him on not just a global search for the Ten Commandments, but also on a mission to stop a massive international terrorist attack. By all accounts, the ending is unexpected, stunning, and atypical for terrorist thrillers.

Finally, I hope you will enjoy reading my latest novel as much as I enjoyed writing it. Stay tuned for updates and in the meantime, the book is available for pre-order now, so please share with friends and family.

Can’t wait to hear what you think!

Thank you.
