This review is from: The Other Side of Dr. Wolf (Paperback) by Bruce Portnoy
It's hard to avoid being stabbed in the back when it seems oh so profitable. "The Other Side of Dr. Wolf" tells the story of the titular Dr. Wolf as he tries to find out who killed his daughter and tried to kill him and his wife. Through a large conspiracy involving the state department, the Holy Temple Mount, and other people out to cause trouble throughout the world, the web of conspiracy seems so deep and tangled. "The Other Side of Dr. Wolf" is an intriguing and very highly recommended read which shouldn't be ignored by thriller readers.
International tension escalates as renegade State Department officers conspire with terrorist organizations to target Jerusalem's Holy Temple Mount, using well concealed nuclear weapons.
Jon Wolf imagined he was living the ideal American life until he was involved in an auto accident that took the life of his daughter and left his wife Abbie comatose. Arrested and charged with D.U.I., vehicular manslaughter, an orchestrated trial all but assured him a lengthy prison sentence.
At his trial, Jon makes the acquaintance of G.P. Mehmet. Suspicious circumstances prompt this retired F.B.I. agent of Palestinian descent, to initiate inquiries. He soon learns the accident was a set up, but his source refuses to cooperate further.
Mehmet and Wolf unite to uncover the reason Jon's family was targeted. They come across an e-mail Abbie received from the son of a Lebanese diplomat. This exposed her to a revelation laced with danger and mandated a termination order, assigned to the diabolically clever State Department facilitator, Mr. Aberdam.
Labeled security threats, the men are forced into hiding to protect their families. G.P. briefly considers an opportunity to drop the case and safely walk away; yet, a moving Holocaust question from his young granddaughter pushes him onward.
Forced to work against the clock to expose a danger so vast in scope, no western democracy has yet the means to defend itself; Mehmet and Wolf must seek out unconventional alliances. Even with all of their efforts, the men may not be in time to prevent the slaughter of unsuspecting Muslims, Christians and Jews.
As The Other Side of Dr. Wolf unfolds, readers will be drawn to choose a side in the frighteningly realistic scenario proposed.
