SYNOPSIS

Everything is possible and nothing is certain in Bamako. A man torn between two continents finds himself in a dangerous confrontation between tradition and corruption. Solo is a former cop who ran away from a dark past in France to start his life over again in Bamako, Mali, as a PI. An ordinary case turns out to be not so ordinary. The drug mule gets her throat slit. The French lawyer is too beautiful and too well-informed. The cocaine is too plentiful. This is hard-boiled noir with a modern twist set in West Africa.

SYNOPSIS

Past and present collide. When you kill a legend, it becomes inspiration, and you can’t kill inspiration. Jeremy Corbin and Jacqueline Walls lead a calm life in a New Jersey suburb, when one day everything changes. Eytan Morgenstern returns to save them, and this improbably team must take on the Consortium, leading them on an epic journey from London to Tel-Aviv, from the Polish forests to Manhattan high-rises, from the shameful past to the threatening future. After a lifetime of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice, the Mossad operative is once again fighting those who wish to study his superhuman body. The self-sacrificing secret agent must rely on the help of his friends to finally free himself of the physical and emotional scars of his past.

TOUR QUOTATIONS

The Discerning Reader

Khara never disappoints with plenty of action, enthralling thrill aspect, carnage with well timed insertions of humor. His narratives are gripping and hold your attention until the very end.
Quite an emotional read, proportionate in all areas.

Musings of a Writer & Unabashed Francophile

I absolutely could not wait to get my hands on this book. I’d already devoured the other two books in the series.
This book is a fantastic thriller, and not to be missed.

Lady Techie’s Book Musings

The Morgenstern Project is the best of the series so far. As far as I can tell the series grows in character development, story development and David Khara, the author, grows in writing, story and character development skills as well.

Libri Amori Miei

It ‘s a thriller adventurous and exciting, full of twists, suspense and mystery. It ‘s very well written, with a style and a language simple and essential.
I recommend it to those who love thrillers and novels full of action and adventure.

Deal Sharing Aunt

This is a fast paced thriller that kept me reading.
I can not wait to read more from this series.
