Nineteen centuries later Pablo Escobar, the world's most torious drug lord, is building his billion-dollar Medellin Cartel together with torious Javier Ceballos. International power brokers battle to keep the cocaine off the streets of Miami, but ultimately fail, as corruption, betrayal, and deception are rife. Man's weakness and greed ensue, and body is to be trusted. In 2012, Karen Cohen, an incent civilian almost looses her life. Constable Avishai Levy arrests Jacob Stern who is an Ultra-Orthodox activist. Events then unfold that change the lives of many in the town and beyond. Vivid and explosive, Sicarii is a fascinating tale of fundamentalism and extremism over two millennia. This vel is confronting for the reader. But most of all, the vel is about the power of friendship and love.
