The Gilboa Iris

Dara Harrow, daughter of a rocket physicist for the US department of defense, sends her parents into a tailspin of dual-loyalty anxiety when she plans to wed the brooding and mysterious Gidon Ben-Ari, an Israeli officer in an elite counter-terrorist unit. Yet Dara's budding perfect world is shattered when the terror that she thought she left behind in the States catches up to her in Israel with devastating results, and before long realizes she must come to terms with the shocking lie about the one man she trusted most.

The Gilboa Iris is a blazing tale of romance, deceit, and international intrigue. Its rich characters and explosive plot take readers from Israel's Gilboa Mountains to the streets of New York, to Germany's Zehlendorf Forest, and back to Israel amid seminal events that rocked the world between 1982 and 2002.
