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.

What About Actors for The Vase?

Since I've posted about actors who would be right for a movie version of Killer of Killers, what about actors who would be good for The Vase? Well, I haven't really thought about that yet. I've focused so much more on KOK for movie possibilities. Still, The Vase would be a good movie, too. As for what actors would be right for it? That's something I would have to consider. But none of the actors I've talked about for KOK would be right for The Vase. They are totally different movies. Different stories, different locations, different languages even.

It doesn't mean I couldn't find some actors who would be good for it, though. It's just that, like I said, I haven't given it much thought. There are plenty of talented actors, just as with anything, and they are out there. It will give me a good thing to post about some time. So I'll start thinking about it, and I'll look forward to finding them and revealing them on the blog. Stay tuned.
