Summer Tempest - synopsis

A detailed synopsis plus an opening short excerpt of my fourth book, a novel titled “Summer Tempest”.

After some fifteen minutes of yawning out of boredom, in mid scene a horrendous sight appeared all over the screen; it was a live broadcast of a terrorist attack in broad day light, and the sights were sickening. Where the attack was taking place she could not know or identify its exact location, but hardly a few seconds passed and a commentator repeated the entire horrendous incident details: a car bomb exploded in the town of Hedera, some fifty miles northward.

'God almighty, why have I come for, have I lost my mind?' She uttered quite loudly in Hebrew and without switching off the TV set she left the bed, and hurried to her suite's living room, to watch the broadcast on the bigger TV set.

She sat tensed and bewildered in one of the armchairs, watching the evacuation of the corpses, the wounded covered with blood and dust; as the obscured street and the destruction has terrified and shocked her. While holding the remote control with a shaking hand, she had a terrible urge to switch off the TV set, but was not able to detach herself from the horrific sights.

There was a certain update by the state department, warning U.S. citizens to stay away and not visit the Middle East, Erella remembered all of a sudden. Mike has told her about it, when she offered him to visit Israel together. He did not object at first, but when the time came he sent her on her own.
