Haboob, from the Arabic word habb, meaning wind. These violent desert storms are all too common. So loud they can burst an ear drum. So powerful they can bury a man alive. The sands they carry have been known to make villages disappear. Retired surgeon, Maurice had experienced it, and so had his daughter, Madeleine. Her tour in Syria now a distant memory, she is an accomplished attorney in NYC and Washington, DC.
One’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. It’s all a question of perspective. What drives men to commit such acts of violence? Prejudice? Persecution? Love for one or for one���s country? ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ Not exactly. It’s complicated.
Winds never travel a straight line, this one certainly doesn’t. Some "storms" born in the Middle East, have even been known to reach our shores.Crossing oceans and borders with ease, no one knows of its existence. Maurice Marceau has his suspicions. But will anyone listen? Concerned the "storm" might hit New York City, with her contacts at the NSA, Madeleine can help. Working together, father and daughter try to change its course.
As the dust settles, has the fog lifted only to reveal destruction? Were the Marceaus able to avert a disaster of such magnitude the city had not seen since 9/11?
Genre: Mystery
