The Student

Gidon Aronson, an American who has served in the Israeli military, has made a promise – to check up on Noa, a Mossad officer’s niece, a college student in Baltimore. The uncle is concerned about Noa’s welfare, given rampant anti-Israel sentiment on many college campuses.

What begins as a simple favor, develops into a murder investigation when Noa’s room is vandalized and two young men are subsequently killed. Gidon and the police uncover a foreign intelligence cell that always seems one step ahead of them. When Noa is forced to leave town, Gidon returns to the Middle East and undertakes a personal undercover operation so risky it may cost him his life.

Confluence

The two men came at dinnertime on Friday night to murder a young rabbi and his family. They didn't say why. They didn't say who sent them. Fortunately, Gidon Aronson was at the right place at the right time. Gidon, a former member of an elite Israeli special operations unit, must not only protect the clergyman, but also peel back the layers of the man's personal and professional lives to get at a secret not even the target knows, or admits. Gidon's inquiries soon place him in the crosshairs as well, and lead him from the United States to Israel and the Gaza Strip. In his search, Gidon not only uncovers more questions, but in the process must also face his own demons from past Israeli operations.

In The Name of God

Gidon Aronson just wants to be left alone. His training as a special forces operative makes him unique, but now he just wants solace. When the Guardians of Heaven set their sights on an Israeli diplomat, Gidon does just enough to save their target. But when they kill a friend, he steps into a conspiracy that runs from upscale neighborhoods of Baltimore to the ancient streets of Jerusalem and the West Bank.
