Publisher Description
A New York City homicide detective races against the clock to stop a terrorist attack on a world-famous Catskills resort during the Passover holiday
When NYPD lieutenant Barry Wintraub starts investigating the murder of a Jewish Defense League member, he stumbles on a plot to blow up the New Prospect resort in the Catskills, where over one thousand of Israel’s top financial supporters will be celebrating Passover with their families and the guest of honor, an important Israeli general. Wintraub’s partner and captain aren’t convinced that the conspiracy exists, but the owner of the New Prospect acknowledges the detective’s hunch and invites him and his family to stay for the celebration.
The Terrorist’s Holiday presents a unique take on extremist plots—the two terrorists, a handsome young man and his beautiful girlfriend, are morally challenged by what they are about to do . . . and they realize, perhaps too late, that an even more deadly threat awaits all who visit the world-class resort.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When a young member of the Jewish Defense League, Daniel Goldstein, is murdered with an ice pick on a Bronx street at the start of this assured thriller from Neiderman (Game of the Dead), homicide detective Barry Wintraub's intuition tells him that something much more nefarious is in the works. Although Wintraub doesn't uncover solid evidence, the clues that he does find lead him to what he believes is a plot to assassinate an Israeli military hero who has agreed to speak at a fundraiser to be held at the New Prospect resort in the Catskills during Passover. After agreeing to spend the holiday at the resort with his wife and kids, Wintraub continues to search for the terrorists and uncovers a plot much more ambitious (and terrifying) than he could have ever imagined. Realistic and insightful characterization fuels the story, and the profound revelations at the novel's end make this a particularly memorable read.
