I'm pleased to report that the publisher of Jim Rix's fabulous true crime book Jingle Jangle: The Perfect Crime Turned Inside Out (Broken Bench Press) has acquired some copies of the 2004 edition of Bavaria-based novelist Steve Glossin's first novel, the Near East thriller Prophecy of the Medallion. As advertised on the publisher's website:
Trade paperback, 486 pages. Very limited 2004 edition. What happens when a Shiite Muslim cleric in Baghdad (‘the Imam’) goes on a fanatical quest to fulfill a prophecy of Muhammad and crosses the path of United Nations Chief Weapons Inspector William Holden, who is on his own desperate quest: to find and rescue the missing members of his Iraq inspection team? What do Saddam Hussein’s military do to protect themselves when their ‘Supreme Leader’ puts them in a no-win situation to convince the UN that he has no weapons of mass destruction? Can Holden and members of an ancient Bedouin tribe use each other—Holden to avenge his men, and the tribe to repossess its lost heirloom? Will tribal member Sabah Al Ahmed, who is also an operative of the Israeli Mossad, be able to use both Holden and the tribe to recover Israel’s lost nerve agent and keep it from Israel’s enemies?
It's being offered at a special discount price.
I have read the story and found it highly interesting. Good price also.
