Review of “Devil in False Colors”
by Jack Winnock

Beginning with a horrific attack on a Jewish preschool, “Devil in False Colors” by Jack Winnock goes on to reveal a plot between Russia and Iran to destroy the Jewish race, especially the Jewish state of Israel. Their hatred of the Jewish race is clearly revealed in this book, especially the ways that terrorism is perpetrated against them. Much of the action occurs in Los Angeles, California where there are many Jews and Muslims living, but the strings of these puppets are being pulled by the leaders in Russia and Iran on the other side of the world.

This story centers around two main characters: Uri Levin, a Mossad agent, and Lara Edmond from the FBI. They are called in to combat the terrorism which is mushrooming in LA. They have a past – in fact, they were briefly lovers a few years ago, but have not seen each other since. This relationship is woven throughout the book with, unfortunately, some sexually charged scenes which I feel could have been toned down considerably. Notwithstanding, the plot moves on to reveal the major players of this conflict and their dastardly attempts to destroy those they hate and consider to be their enemies.

As the story develops, our Mossad agent, Uri, takes on an undercover persona of a Muslim militant. At the same time, his counterpart, Lara, goes online and poses as a blonde who seeks a Jihadi to marry. The action escalates quickly as more acts of terrorism are done to the Jews. Uri is successful in infiltrating the Muslim community and finds out some very integral information. Not wanting to reveal much more of the plot, let me just say that this fast-moving tale proceeds with many twists and turns, eventually to an exciting end.

I learned a lot about the different groups of Muslims – the Sunnis and the more militant Hezbollah or Shia. I was not aware of such a rift between them, and their differing beliefs. As the story unfolds, the reader becomes aware of the reason for the title of the book “Devil in False Colors”, as one group of characters pose as someone else to get the intended results against their enemies. I enjoyed all the intrigue and mystery involved in the plot of this story. In fact, I feel that the author does a superb job in his character development as well as the descriptions of different settings. I appreciate that there was no unsavory language used in the book, which proves to me that that type of language is not necessary to make a fast-moving book with evil characters believable or realistic. The only part of the book that I disliked was the few gratuitous sex scenes depicted.

I rate “Devil in False Colors” a perfect 4 out of 4 stars. There were very few grammatical errors in the book, so I believe it was professionally edited. The only errors I found were some words unnecessarily repeated within a sentence. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about political intrigue set in the present time.

I just finished this book. Even though this is a fictional work, I like the way it puts the political spotlight on Iran. Do they have the capability and resources to annihilate the State of Israel? Are they in compliance with the nuclear proliferation agreements? What specific actions could the United Nations, America, and Israel take to protect Israel and prevent an attack? After reading this book, I wrote a letter to my representatives in Congress asking these questions. jack winnick is one of my favorite authors! Excellent review!
