Bode Thoene's historical novels are well-written. The setting is in Jerusalem, post World War II. Her characters are believable humans in realistic circumstances of this extremely troubled time. It was hard to put down, but I also needed time to digest what I had read. It is exciting. There is real danger, real situations, just as there was during that time when the Zionists are trying to take back the territory given to the Jews by God thousands of years before. It is just before the withdrawal of the British government in Palestine. This is a keeper.
