“A horrible year in which faith was tested and justice was betrayed had transitioned to a new year, one filled with the joyful and tangible rebirth of love, justice, faith and as Allah willed it, Salaam.”
Mark Bello twists a tale of crime and intrigue in his second book of the Zachary Blake Betrayal Series; that could have come straight out of the headlines. Ronald John has been elected as President of the United States, with his anti-Muslim redirect and policies has to lead to white supremacist to justifying their attacks in the small town of Dearborn. Keith Blackwell a white supremacist and active member of 1USA Pure is behind the attacks on the Muslim community and Firebomb of their Mosque winds up dead the police's prime suspect is a Muslim woman Arya Khan is upon First Degree Murder Charges. Her story matches the evidence but, so does the fact she could have killed him herself. Her family and community call in Zachary Blake to defend her against these charges. Mark Bello tackles a lot of topics such as racism, hate, immigration and prejudices in this new tale including writing the characters in a way that tackles the stereotypes that people jump to with Muslims, Americans, Jews or Christians and breaks them when showing that even a young Muslim woman can be a hero for a community just by telling the truth. He truly surprised me with his style of writing and his storytelling. I found it quite enjoyable and worth the time and energy to read if for no other reason than the fact he shows that there is another way.
