Sneak Peek: Murder Over the Border

Today we have a sneak peek from the mystery/thriller by Richard Steinitz: Murder Over the Border.

Israeli policeman Yossi Abulafia is on army reserve duty, watching military movements on the other side of the Jordanian border. Through his telescope, he witnesses what appears to be a murder – in Jordan. While seeing this crime take place, his lookout post collapses and he is seriously injured – enough so that he is invalided out.

Taking a new job in the Prime Minister’s office, he gets sucked into the Oslo Peace Process, and uses his position to try to find the killer from over the border. Who is the ‘shooter’ and how is he connected to Yossi?

Murder Over the Border is available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.

Millie heard the shots and had gone to the window in time to see the two thugs standing over the lifeless body of their victim.

One of them had looked right at Millie. He smiled maliciously at her and raised a finger to his lips, as if to tell her to be silent.

The other man turned and saw her frozen with fear there in the window.

The two men exchanged some words. The smiling man dragged the body into the alley. The other man crossed the street, headed for Millie’s apartment building. She knew what that meant. Time was short.
