Reviews for The Damascus Cover

[sheriawilkinson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The Damascus Cover (The Jerusalem Spy Series Book 1) by Howard Kaplan

Agent Ari Ben-Sion is on a mission to smuggle Jewish children out of the Damascus Ghetto. Once he gets to Damascus he meets a beautiful photographer named Kim, and he falls in love with her. But soon things don't seem right. Kim asks a lot of questions, his communication equipment disappears, his contact never shows, and nothing is going as planned.

Plus he fears his cover will be blown, and he and the lives of the children will be in great danger. Not knowing who to trust, Ari must be as sharp as ever to pull this off without ending up dead.

The attention to detail and intense dialog pulls you right into the story. Ari is likable, even though he is flawed. He is put in many dangerous situations, and has to use his sharp wit to pull himself out of tough situations.

The story moves at a steady pace, with so much tension, Ari soon finds himself unable to trust anyone. There is plenty of drama, action, tension and "edge-of-your-seat" moments I could not put it down. Overall The Damascus Cover is a fantastic read. I highly recommend to all.

The cover is amazing , so is the story and I am excited to hear it will soon be a major motion picture!
