Global terrorism is spearheaded by a pair of unlikely masterminds in The Black Widows (published by iUniverse), the tense new political thriller by Doug Zipes thats quickly gaining word-of-mouth momentum and rave reviews.
By all outward appearances, the pair of elderly women who run the local bookstore in Chappaqua, a sleepy community about 40 miles north of New York City, dont have much going on apart from the day-to-day operations at the store. But looks can be deceiving, and things most definitely arent always as they seem. Osama Bin Laden may have been killed, but terrorism didnt die with him; in fact, its being kept alive and well by these two seemingly harmless old ladies in the pages of The Black Widows, an iUniverse Star selection.
Posing as Jewish sisters, the women known as Mrs. Ambramowitz and Mrs. Silverman have a much different heritage; hailing from Afghanistan and Palestine respectively, the powerful women maintain control over the Black Widows, a worldwide terrorist organization that seeks not only to bring about the demise of Western culture, but to carry out some personal vendettas as well. Told in rapid-fire succession, find out what happens in this contemporary, realistic new thrill ride.
What readers are saying about The Black Widows:
Best book Ive read this year!
This is a fast paced suspense novel that keeps you reading all night. The characters are interesting and complex and it kept me guessing until the end. An amazing first novel.
