Robert
Whitlow's legal suspense stories never fail to intrigue. His
knowledge of our country's legal system adds credibility to his
novels. In Chosen People Whitlow
demonstrates that his knowledge is not limited to our country's
borders, as this book is set in both the U.S. and the Middle East.
Whitlow confronts the need to hold those who fund terrorism
accountable. He also gives his readers a glimpse into the complexity
of being a Christian of Middle Eastern heritage.
Hana Abboud, a Christian Arab Israeli, practices law at a firm in
Atlanta, Georgia. Because of her knowledge of the languages and
cultures of the area, Hana is asked to represent the firm in a case
involving the death of an American woman killed by terrorists in
Jerusalem. Hana would be working with an attorney from a small firm,
Jakob Brodsky, a secular Jew from a Russian background, who had
approached a senior partner of the larger firm about being co-counsel
in the case. Their first order of business would be to uncover
connections between the terrorists and a funding entity who would
then be sued. Little did Hana and Jakob know the impact this case
would have on their own lives.
I
would recommend Chosen People,
and indeed any book by this author, to fans of mysteries and
suspense. Whitlow's work appeals to both men and women. I
received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through
NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
