American Ben Kamal is a Detroit police detective whose police training makes him valuable to the new Palestinian police force on the West Bank. He's glad to help--but hooking up with the Israelis to find a serial killer was not part of the deal.

Danielle Barnea is the best that Shin Bet, Israel's FBI , has to offer, but she, too, resists the assignment.

Now Ben and Danielle are forced to leave personal differences behind as they realize that something much more complex than murder is behind the killings.

Dr. Karen Raymond has made the medical breakthrough of the century, a vaccine that could halt the spread of our most devastating modern plague, AIDS. But when her laboratory is destroyed and her colleagues murdered, she realized she's in danger: a conspiracy of proportions she never dreamed possible is out to crush her work.

In another part of the country the population of an entire town has disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only half-finished meals, empty offices and schools.

Who is responsible? A cabal of power-seeking corporations? Rogue victims of Army medical experiments gone horribly wrong? Who is behind the traitorous plot that threatens to sacrifice our country to the Kingdom of the Seven.

Palestinian-American detective Ben Kamal and Israeli police inspector Danielle Barnea return to confront a worldwide criminal plague: white slavery.

Ben Kamal hasn't investigated a case since his last assignment with Danielle until he learns about missing children in his native West Bank. And Danielle had put her career on hold until a personal tragedy left her with nothing to turn to except her career; her first case is the seemingly random murder of a Jerusalem shopkeeper.

What Ben and Danielle don't know, can't know, is that their separate investigations are linked by a secret born of the blood that forged a nation.

To stop history from being rewritten, Ben and Danielle must follow a dangerous path to a truth that no one wants revealed, a truth someone had already killed to keep hidden behind the Pillars of Solomon.

Who killed two thousand innocent people, and how? More importantly, can they be stopped from striking again?

Infectious disease expert Dr. Susan Lyle teams up with Blaine McCracken, ex-CIA operative, in the search for answers. Hideously deformed cadavers and a missing teenage genius are their only leads. The chase takes them all the way down the eastern seaboard and across the country, and they soon realize that at the heart of the puzzle lies a whole new generation of biological weapons. Should the wrong people get their hands on them, no one will be able to prevent the horrifying effect of...The Fires of Midnight.

How are the shocking murders of elderly Holocaust survivors connected to the deaths of high school students in Israel and the West Bank?

Palestinian-American detective Ben Kamal and Israeli detective Danielle Barnea soon discover that the answer to this blood-drenched puzzle lies as much in the past as in the present, with the clues leading from a Nazi labor camp to the forefront of modern biotech research, while leaving a trail of deception and death behind.

At the center of the mystery lies Paul Hessler, a labor camp escapee and New York billionaire with secrets that stretch back over sixty years. Hessler is also in possession of a miraculous medical discovery that could affect the lives of thousands--inlcluding Ben and Danielle's unborn child.

To protect this discovery, and to rescue the future form the hidden evils of the past, Ben and Danielle must come face-to-face with the Keepers of the Gate.
