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.

Taxes Due and Conflict
Nevertheless, I'm still rolling along with the revisions to Killer Eyes, and I'm still trying to make it so that hole in the plot gets filled. What I've come up with is actually going to make the story more interesting, and that's a real good thing. A little more conflict, a little more controversy, and another plot twist that will give the story more bite.
Not that it really needed more conflict, as the story to both Killer of Killers and Killer Eyes is filled with conflict. Still, there's nothing wrong with more. The funny thing is that the path Trent Smith chooses to travel is just that--a path of conflict. So that's what makes the books entertaining! Buy a copy today and find out for yourself! Let me know what you thought!
