Here’s the set-up:

The secret documents revealing how the Prime Minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, has become a world master of influence.

Binyamin Netanyahu is one of the most prominent leaders in the history of the Jewish people. He was first elected in 1996 and holds the title of longest term in office as the Prime Minister of Israel. Netanyahu has been elected to the prestigious position time and time again in one of the toughest environments in the world, despite many objections and obstacles in his path. How does he do it? What is the secret of his power?

The ten chapters of Master of Influence reveal the methods of charisma, rhetoric, communication, and propaganda employed by Netanyahu in the form of a rare treasure of never-before revealed private documents. The reader is offered a unique look into papers Netanyahu has written before public addresses, secret telegrams he has sent, the parts he has crossed out and even body language tips he has written himself.

The Netanyahu documents expose his singular methods for shaping international public opinion, influencing American government decisions, initiating relations with Arab leaders, controlling the media, and enrapturing his Israeli voters.

The author, who worked with Netanyahu and covered him as a journalist, presents behind-the-scenes stories from Bibi’s early days as a young diplomat in New York who would practice in front of the mirror, through the story of the suit that caught fire on live television, to his fascinating relations with Trump and Biden on the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic.

The book became a bestseller immediately after its publication and was selected as one of the four best non-fiction books published in Israel that year. It has been classified as a “must-read” for anyone who wishes to get to know Netanyahu better, to understand the Israeli culture and learn Netanyahu’s methods of influence.

Here’s the set-up:

Nothing is colder than death. Or is it…
In Dead Wrong, the third book in the continuing mystery series featuring reporter Samantha Church, Samantha is back and turns her attention to helping Abby Love, a young funeral home employee who has come to her with claims that the mortuary is involved in illegally harvesting body parts.
Abby claims that funeral home employees and others with access to the recently deceased are profiting from the dead by secretly dismembering corpses, taking tissues, organs and non-organ body parts from knees, spines, bones to skin without the knowledge or consent of family members to sell on the black market.
Setting her initial skepticism aside, Sam and Abby begin an investigation, which soon reveals that trafficking body parts illegally harvested from the dead is, in fact, a thriving and lucrative, underground business driven by a growing demand for human bones and tissue—and is happening at the mortuary where Abby works.
Their undercover investigation exposes a corrupt mortuary, but who is involved in the clandestine operation remains shrouded in ambiguity. Determined to uncover the truth and hunt down those responsible, Sam and Abby continue their pursuit—despite that it leads the pair down a winding and sinister path of malevolence and malice, which ends up having dire consequences for everyone involved.
