Will iconic images recorded in the grooves of an ancient vase unite the Holy Land or rip it further apart?

THE VASE

A novel by Mark M. DeRobertis

Muhsin Muhabi is a Palestinian potter, descended from a long line of potters. His business is run from the same shop owned by his ancestors since the day his forebears moved to Nazareth. The region's conflict saw the death of his oldest son, and rogue terrorists are in the process of recruiting his youngest in their plot to assassinate the Pope and Israeli prime minister.

Professor Hiram Weiss is an art historian at Nazareth’s Bethel University. He is also a Shin Bet operative on special assignment. With the help of fellow agent, Captain Benny Mathias, he plans to destroy the gang responsible for the death of his wife and only child. He puts a bomb in the ancient vase he takes on loan from Muhsin’s Pottery Shop.

Mary Levin, the charming assistant to the director of Shin Bet, has lost a husband and most of her extended family to recurring wars and never-ending terrorism. She dedicates her life to the preservation of Israel, but to whom will she dedicate her heart? The brilliant professor from Bethel University? Or the gallant captain who now leads Kidon?

Harvey Holmes, the Sherlock of Haunted Houses, is a Hollywood TV host whose reality show just flopped. When a Lebanese restaurant owner requests his ghost-hunting services, he believes the opportunity will resurrect his career. All he has to do is exorcise the ghosts that are haunting the restaurant. It happens to be located right across the street from Muhsin’s Pottery Shop.

Justice Prevailed

So the Forty-Niners lost their first Super Bowl. Ho hum. Who cares? Not me. But they deserved to lose. In fact, they should have lost by a lot more than they did. That was an awfully convenient power outage, wasn't it? The Ravens were steamrolling the Niners, something like 28-6, or thereabouts. Then the lights go out? Too convenient if you ask me. But you don't have to ask me. It was all too obvious. Was it a deliberate act by someone? I wouldn't be surprised, because it sure worked. The Ravens lost all their momentum after that, and had to hang on for the win. But hang on they did, and they won. So, at least justice prevailed. Just like in my book, Killer of Killers. Justice prevails. It's one of Trent Smith's catch phrases, and I quote: "I'll see to it that justice prevails." He says that in the book, and not only does he talk the talk, he walks the walk. You'll have to read it to see for yourself. Buy a copy today! In Killer of Killers, justice prevails. Just like last night!
