Blood Cries

Blood Cries

"John Weisman's novel is taut with foreboding and suspense, laced with gritty realism about the darker side of today's Israel. He expertly dissects the psychological complexity in relationships between Israelis and American Jews. This is a 'page-turner' that hews almost too eerily for comfort to recent history." — Samuel W. Lewis, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

As Jerusalem bureau chief for World Week magazine, Jared Paul Gordon has found in Israel a touchstone for his own identity as a Jew. The place, so soaked in history and the yearning of the ages, so different from the Los Angeles of his assimilated upbringing, has worked its magic on him. He's at home there. And he's fallen in love with Adrian Cooper, daughter of a wealthy American banker with close ties to the Israeli government.

Then, before dawn one morning in the fall of 1982, he receives an invitation from an old friend and source in the military to go on a secret mission across Israel's border into Syria. The shocking execution that he witnesses there, his need to deal with it as news, and how it affects his integrity and his future as a journalist brings Jared face-to-face with Israel's essential conflict between ends and means. Called on the carpet by his superiors in New York for a story he can't verify, suspecting Adrian of betraying him, Jared begins a desperate search for the truth about Adrian's past, and her father's, and most of all about Jewish terror and the Israeli government's relationship to it.

Against the tense background of terrorism and political betrayal, John Weisman poses daring and provocative questions about different kinds of support for and belief in Israel. Blood Cries is an extraordinary novel about how love—for a woman and for a country—can be tested and survive.
