THE BOOK OF STONE

After the death of his estranged father, a dishonored New York judge, Matthew Stone finds himself confronted with some terrifying choices. His gangster grandfather was a Murder Incorporated trigger man, and now he's discovered that his father kept a secret bank account to fund pro-Israeli terrorist activities. Should Matthew complete his family's dark legacy? Or should he save himself and climb out from under his father's shadow?

As he immerses himself in this unfamiliar world, the FBI seeks Matthew's assistance to foil the group's violent plot. Caught between these powerful forces, haunted by losses past and present, and desperate for redemption, Matthew charts a course of increasing peril—for himself and for everyone around him.

From the author of The Ascent of Eli Israel and There is No Other, The Book of Stone examines the evolution of the terrorist mentality and the complexities of religious extremism, as well as how easily a vulnerable mind can be exploited for dark purposes. Lyrical and incendiary, The Book of Stone is a masterfully crafted novel that reveals the ambiguities of “good” and “evil”.
