Don’t miss today’s KND Thriller of the Day
Doha 12
by Lance Charnes
Jake Eldar’s and Miriam Schaffer’s names may kill them.
Jake manages a bookstore in Brooklyn. Miriam is a secretary at a
Philadelphia law firm. Both grew up in Israel and emigrated to build new
lives in America. Neither knows the other exists…until the Israeli
intelligence agency Mossad uses their identities in an operation to
assassinate a high-ranking Hezbollah commander in Doha, Qatar.
Now Hezbollah plans to kill them both.
Jake, Miriam and ten other innocents in five countries – the Doha 12 –
awake to find their identities stolen and their lives caught between
Mossad and Hezbollah in an international game of murder and reprisal.
Jake stumbles upon Hezbollah’s plot but can’t convince the police it
exists. When his wife is murdered in a botched hit meant for him, Jake
and Miriam try desperately to outrun and outfight their pursuers while
shielding Jake’s young daughter from the killers on their trail.
Hezbollah, however, has a fallback plan: hundreds of people will die if
Jake and Miriam survive.
Inspired by actual events, Doha 12 will sweep you from the suburbs of
Beirut and Tel Aviv to a pulse-pounding climax in the wintry streets of
Manhattan as Jake and Miriam race along the thin, faded gray line
between good and bad, hero and villain, truth and lies.
“Doha 12 is an exciting and hard-to-put-down read of fiction, not to be overlooked.” – Midwest Book Review Small Press Bookwatch
“This book does this thing that I feel all thriller books should do, and that is be engaging within the first 20 pages. And I mean thoroughly engaging. Very early in the book I had a million questions and was already swept up in the story…” – The Review Hutch (thereviewhutch.blogspot.com)
