Legend tells that when Alexander the Great came to Phrygia, the elders placed before him a rope with a knot so complex that no man could unravel it. Whoever could undo the knot, they said, would be the conqueror of all Asia. Without hesitation, Alexander unsheathed his sword and cut through the knot -- and went on to conquer the world. Here, in this novel of suspense and intrigue, is a contemporary Gordian knot: a story of five generations connected by a mysterious and important secret. It is a tale of dedication and treachery, and, above all, a story of the incredible Providence that watches over the Jewish People and every Jew. David Eliad, the simple moshav farmer whose past life is surrounded by haze and mystery, holds in his hands the ends of the Gordian knot, a bond that ties together many different lands and many different generations. What is the secret of the centuries-old will left by the hidden Kabbalist Avigdor Horowitz? What terrible doom will overtake Horowitz's grandchildren -- and the entire Jewish nation -- if the will isn't discovered? What clue is concealed in the tiny letters written by Roman Spiegel, a sadistic Nazi, and who can foil his hideous plan? The Gordian Knot is a novel of breathtaking suspense and heartstopping drama. It will rivet the reader from its dramatic and mysterious opening pages right through its action-packed climax. The unravelling of the "Gordian Knot" is a moving experience that you will not soon forget.

Once upon a Story: A Famous Author Retells Classic Stories With Passion and Spirit

For centuries, Jew and gentile alike have entertained the same burning question: Where is the Ark of the Covenant hidden? Amateur archaeologist Matti Lazarus believes that he is on the trail of the most searched-for artifact in human history.

Unfortunately, someone is not happy about this. Before long, Matti is in a deep coma in the hospital - leaving his son, Maoz, to carry on his quest. Before Maoz reaches the end of the trail, he will find himself at the center of the vortex of several violent plotting factions, each determined to use the young Israeli to help it be the first to reach the Ark.

Rewind 2,000 years. Titus and his army stand poised to invade Jerusalem and do the unthinkable: destroy the Holy Temple. Gamliel, a wealthy Kohen, devises a plan whereby, should the worst happen and the Roman hordes succeed in their goal, all may not be lost. As the siege continues and his fellow Jerusalemites face starvation, war, and the end of life as they know it, Gamliel risks all to save that which is most precious to his people.

In his inimitable fashion, Yair Weinstock has created a double delight: a combination modern-day thriller and historical drama between the pages of the same riveting book. You'll be sure to find this a unique read - and a completely unforgettable one.

Yair Weinstock has done it again. Israel's master of suspense -- author of the bestselling Blackout and The Gordian Knot -- has woven another web of danger and suspense that is guaranteed to keep readers on the edges of their seats until they maneuver themselves through the last intrigue of this swashbuckler of a novel. Eli Flamm is a yeshivah student with a bright future in the world of Torah -- but a dark cloud hangs over him. What happened to his parents and brother twenty years ago? Why was he adopted? Why is there a veil of secrecy over his family? How were the State Department and CIA involved with his parents? Why did they leave Flatbush for India -- and why were they never heard from again? Eli sets out to find the answers, and his quest takes us to India and Israel, to Russia and Iran, to the alleyways of Jerusalem and the sacred soil of the Temple Mount. The mind honed on the intricacies of the Talmud solves inscrutable problems and unravels a tangle of international intrigue that endangers the security of Israel and threatens to plunge the world into an atomic inferno. The plot moves at breathtaking speed, hurtling between a kaleidoscope of international terrorists and a dizzying succession of plots. Jerusalem is the center of the universe, and it is there that the plotters converge and Eli darts desperately to prevent disaster. In the nick of time, his sister sees someone on a flight to Israel and ... No -- we won't give it away! Eye of the Storm is not for the fainthearted, but if you can't resist a fast-moving adventure that hurtles toward an electrifying climax, then this is the book for you!
