Terrorism in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles police are the first on the scene at a Jewish nursery school in Beverly Hills area, after men, dressed all in black, attacked and brutally killed five children. Soon after this attack, the badly mutilated and tortured body of a missing rabbi is discovered, making the LAPD realise that they need to ask for help from other agencies.
Mossad sends an agent who had helped in a previous operation to uncover a terrorist group. The CIA, FBI and other organisations set up to fight terrorism come together to try to trace the group before more attacks take place.
The idea behind the storyline is good. The author has obviously done a huge amount of research into how a group of terrorists come together and how easy it would be for them to cause devastating destruction of life. Unfortunately, I found the writing stilted and none of the characters felt convincing or easy in their own skins. Such a shame.

Breakaway Reviewers received a copy of the book to review.

Devil in False Colors by Jack Winnick was received direct from the publisher. Headless children in Beverly Hills is how this one starts out. I did not realize, prior to starting reading, that this book was part of a series, but never fear, the book is standalone. After I saw the specialized subject manner I was fearful the author would not be true to the modern world, but he is not afraid to write terms such as "radical Muslim threats." The story follows what could be today's headlines and what could be an obvious event in the Middle East in the near future, thanks in part to American incompetence in the last political regime. If you like true to life political thrillers, give this book and this author a try.

4 strong stars

This was a very intense story. I sometimes had some trouble following the story since I really don't know a lot about the Muslim faith or about the different middle eastern countries. I loved the characters that were featured. I did not want to put the book down during the most intense portions. This kept me on my toes. I really liked Uri and Lara. This did teach me a little about some of the differences in the Muslim culture. I received a copy of this book from Smith publicity for a fair and honest opinion which I gave of my own free will.

All I will say is this, "Hellcats are hell-bound". By far the best of three, informative to the point of prophetic; read and worry
