About the book

“Dominique Edde’s gripping novel tells the story of the doomed Jann family as they plot against one another for revenge and power. Kamal Jann, a successful lawyer in New York City, has a troubled past unseen to most. His uncle Sayf Eddine Jann, the head of the Syrian intelligence, has his parents killed, leaving kamal orphaned at the age of twelve, and then paid for Kamal’s education, leading to eventual success. Now living in Manhatten, Kamal receives news that his uncle is planning a terrorist attack on Paris and has recruited Kamal’s jihadist brother to carry it out.”
