1975 Former detective and spy-catcher Dan Delaney and his West Auckland family are on a visit to the Holy Land which goes horribly wrong from the moment they land at Ben-Gurion Airport. A plot is underway to desecrate the most sacred sites and incite conflict between the three great religions whose worship centres on a small area of inner Jerusalem. The Jewish authorities are determined at any cost to prevent another terrorist outrage such as that at Ben-Gurion Airport concourse a few years before, or worse, the recent surprise Yom Kippur attack that threatened the nation's survival. Old enemies have put Delaney's family in the crosshairs of their planned outrages. This is the fifth Dan Delaney mystery. NZ fiction reviewer Alyson Baker described the fourth Delaney story Death of an Agent as 'another great New Zealand read'.
Praise for previous novels in the Dan Delaney series:The Death Ray Debacle: 'A fast-paced action spy story builds to a great climactic finish.' Tim Gruar, Booksellers NZ;The Plot to Kill Peter Fraser: 'What I really loved about this book is the way it presents New Zealand plonk in the middle of international political history.' Alyson Baker, Crime Watch; On a Bodgie Bike: 'Trilogy of local thrillers are pacy novels informed by honest and astute social histories.' Murray Gray, director of Going West Books and Writers' Festival; Death of an Agent: '1960s Wellington, at once naive and cultured, is lovingly portrayed.' Second-Hand Wedding screenwriter Linda Niccol
This is the 59th book by Kiwi social historian and latterly crime fiction writer, and the first with an international setting. Previously he has written exclusively New Zealand stories, drawing on his histories of the New Zealand Police services and New Zealand and German prisoners-of-war, his years as a journalist interviewing people in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Britain, and, in this case, blind Arab Christian girls in Bethlehem. Throughout his working life he has kept diaries that have been his most valuable resource, particularly with his fiction.
