More DescriptionReckoning tells that story. The story takes place in Brooklyn, NY. Jewish bigots and black nationalists clash amidst bitter racial tensions. Into this seething cauldron enters Mick Davidson, Brooklyn-born but now an Israeli citizen, a battle-hardened combat veteran, and a Mossad agent, seeking a wanted Nazi war criminal, suspected of hiding by converting to Judaism and joining the assault on Brooklyn's blacks.Davidson will find more than Nazis on this mission.He will find 90-year-old Rabbi Jacob Paris, a Holocaust survivor and a strong voice for racial amity. He will find Gisele Paris, the rabbi's divorced daughter, a rough and tumble krav maga instructor, a warrior for peace, and a robustly attractive woman hiding a terrible secret. He will find Marko Weinhaus, suspected of being a ruthless Nazi war criminal. He will find Amiri Bantu Biko, leader of Brooklyn's black nationalist movement, a brilliant lawyer, a splendid racist polemicist, a hater of whites generally and of Jews especially, and an apostle of black revolution. As violence builds to full-scale race war, Davidson will find much more besides. The story is grim, it's dark, it's violent, it's brutal, and its plot builds remorselessly to a shattering climax dramatizing a theme both timely and--tragically--timeless.
