A New York City homicide detective races against the clock to stop a terrorist attack on a world-famous Catskills resort during the Passover holiday When NYPD lieutenant Barry Wintraub starts investigating the murder of a Jewish Defense League member, he stumbles on a plot to blow up the New Prospect resort in the Catskills, where over one thousand of Israel’s top financial supporters will be celebrating Passover with their families and the guest of honor, an important Israeli general. Wintraub’s partner and captain aren’t convinced that the conspiracy exists, but the owner of the New Prospect acknowledges the detective’s hunch and invites him and his family to stay for the celebration.The Terrorist’s Holiday presents a unique take on extremist plots—the two terrorists, a handsome young man and his beautiful girlfriend, are morally challenged by what they are about to do . . . and they realize, perhaps too late, that an even more deadly threat awaits all who visit the world-class resort.

Not what I expected By RJ McGill The Terrorist's Holiday is centered around "The New Prospect," an exclusive Cat Skill's Resort where thousands of Israel's big wig, big name, big money supporters have gathered with their families to celebrate Passover. This world class resort is also the center of attention for the terrorists - a young couple that, to some degree, appear to be experiencing a moral conflict. Of course the detective is trying to ensure the safety of the guests and thwart the terrorist plan. While the terrorists want to secure the most effective area to place their bombs.I loved "The Devil's Advocate," and "The Hunted," and I wanted to love this one - and I kept hoping that somewhere, within the 300 pages the writer I enjoyed so much previously would take over and save "The Terrorist's Holiday." The concept was there - but it was clumsily delivered. Starting with the resort - that should've been a 'character' itself - Much like it was in the 80's classic, Dirty Dancing. There were too many characters, it was very difficult to keep them all straight. A defined character list at the front of the book would've helped. There are people we meet, but their involvement in the story has no effect whatsoever on the story... (So why muddy the waters with unnecessary people?) The main characters had their problems too...For example: I can not see a detective taking his wife and kids to a resort he believes has been targeted for attack. I just never connected with the characters. It read like an older book - it felt dated and underdeveloped. In a nutshell, it's okay - If you find yourself snowed in with nothing to read, The Terrorist's Holiday will fill the hours.The Devil's AdvocateThe Hunted

Some of Israel’s top financial supporters and their families, 3,000 people, will spend their Passover holiday there. And on the third day, they will hear from famous Israeli General Chaim Eban.New York homicide detective Barry Wintraub begins investigating the murder of a young Jewish Defense League member. A suspicious want ad and a brochure advertising the New Prospect makes him suspect a possible assassination attempt at the New Prospect, but his partner and his boss both dismiss his suspicions. So he uses some vacation time and takes his family for a holiday at the New Prospect to continue his investigation.Nessim, a top Hezbollah agent, has been charged with carrying out a terrorist scheme at the New Prospect but one much larger than the mere assassination of General Chaim. An important Hezbollah leader is directing the scheme. But some little details bother Nessim and he begins to worry that the plan is being compromised.Different chapters show Barry’s progress, Nessim’s progress, and apparently irrelevant developments and conversations among other people who are going to the New Prospect.Plot development is slow up until the end. Several characters are annoying Jewish caricatures and add little to the plot. A few sex scenes also add very little to the plot. But the terrorist scheme is truly epic and it looks unstoppable because Barry thinks he is only dealing with an assassination attempt. A secondary plot is anticlimactic and is dealt with implausibly.

Slow, Shallow and Suspenseless By Antigone Walsh A Jewish NYC detective suspects something else is afoot while investigating the murder of a young Jewish radical. With the aid of an activist rabbi he secures an invitation to a Passover celebration at a posh Catskills resort. Over three thousand influential Jews will be attending to hear a revered Israeli war hero speak. Although he has little to work on, the detective is correct. A nefarious cabal of jihadists is planning a lethal attack on the resort.This book was a disappointment. It is slow and the dialogue is clunky. There are too many characters and none of them are interesting or likable. The terrorists are bland and the Jewish revelers are stereotypical, rich and spoiled.There is little understanding of the complexities of the hostilities and the terrorists' motivations are murky. There is no feel for the Catskills. The hotel depicted is more Manhattan than Sullivan County. I doubt that the NYC police department would take kindly to the detective's independent investigation and his association with the Jewish activists. Moreover, I can't fathom anyone taking their loved ones for a stay at a potential terrorist target. One's enemies maybe, but your wife and kids? Unlikely. The security staff, police and the Israeli agent were laughably inept. It feels dated, an unsuccessful merger of 24 and Dirty Dancing, senior edition.I used to live and work in the Catskills and thought a thriller set there would be fun. Unfortunately the plodding pace and lack of any fully realized or marginally compelling characters makes it little more than a tiresome read. Years ago there was a Far Side cartoon that depicted the Love Boat cruising up the Suez Canal. As silly as it was, it contained far more insight and entertainment than this offering. Pass.
