East Cobb resident Harry Stern has recently released, The Insider, a sequel to his first novel, My Brothers’ Keeper. The Insider is a page-turning tale of vengeance and duplicity. An international terror  plot targeting New York City becomes a deadly game of  cat and mouse with Iran’s secret service. 

ABOUT THE BOOK 

Leora Bargal and Joshua Canaan, two top Mossad counterterrorism operatives, are enlisted to work with  Detective Alex Ramirez and FBI agents to thwart Iran’s  plan to bomb a New York cultural hub, the 92nd Street Y. Iran’s Quds Force has formed Unit 840. Its goal is to inflict maximum casualties on Jews worldwide. It has devised a plan to detonate a massive bomb at the Y during a national convention attended by 200 Jewish philanthropists and nonprofit executives. 

If the detonation is not stopped, Iran will claim that the loss of Jewish lives begins to balance Israel’s assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, the use of the Stuxnet computer virus to damage its centrifuges, and the targeted killings of Iranian military leaders.
