"The Watchman of Ephraim" - Book 1 of the Cris De Niro series by Gerard de Marigny is a timely thriller that will keep you thinking long after the last page.Cris De Niro lost his wife, Lisa, on 9/11 in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center, even as he raced up the tower stairs to rescue her. Devastated and left to raise his two young sons alone, he moves to Las Vegas for a fresh start. A billionaire hedge fund operator he invests his money in starting a civilian counter-terrorism agency to ensure that another 9/11 will never happen. He staffs the agency with an elite team of specialists and the latest technology.
No sooner is it up and running then the money behind the "Ground Zero Mosque" is discovered to be connected to an Iranian businessman and a Mexican drug cartel. They will soon discover that the mosque is just a cover for a much larger, far more sinister plot.
This is an action packed thrill ride bursting with international intrigue and tension. I really liked the relevance of the plot line to today's world view and current events. This one is definitely hard to put down. I'm looking forward to meeting Cris again in Book 2!
