American Ben Kamal is a Detroit police detective whose police training makes him valuable to the new Palestinian police force on the West Bank. He's glad to help--but hooking up with the Israelis to find a serial killer was not part of the deal.
Danielle Barnea is the best that Shin Bet, Israel's FBI, has to offer, but she, too, resists the assignment.
Now Ben and Danielle are forced to leave personal differences behind as they realize that something much more complex than murder is behind the killings.

The Walls of Jericho Ben and Danielle Book 1 edition by Jon Land Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
One year has passed since the last terrorist act on the West Bank.
Israel is on the verge of granting full statehood to Palestine.
However, everything changes suddenly when a serial killer starts
terrorizing the streets of Jericho. This wakes up the anti-peace groups on both the Arab and Israeli sides. If something is not done to stop the sadistic
killer, the Israelis may back out of the final negotiations. Both sides
accede to a joint police investigation. The Arabs choose Ben Kamal, a veteran of the Detroit force. The Israelis select Danielle Barnea, a member of the
Shin Bet (similar to the FBI).
......Neither one trusts the other and have even less faith in their own
police organizations when it comes to this joint venture. However,
both realizes very quickly that the other is a professional, who will
do the job correctly. Still, who is this serial killer. Is he a Palestine or
Israeli trying to end the peace? Is he part of a law enforcement force
on either side. As they dig through a labyrinth of clandestine lies,
the star crossed couple begins to fall in love. However, personal feelings will have to be placed on hold until a murderer is brought to justice.
......Jon Land has clearly landed amidst the top writers of political
thrillers. THE WALLS OF JERICHO do not tumble because this fast-paced
novel is as tense as they come, especially when compared with all the
real incidents deterring peace efforts. The lead protagonists are charming as they represent the best from both cultures and the support cast adds the
Middle East flavor to a great novel.
......Harriet Klausner
You can't spend too much time at Book Sales & Bookstores without stumbling upon the many books of Jon Land. But I'd managed to avoid reading one because of their generic Ludlumesque titles--Omega Deception, Doomsday Spiral, Gamma Option, etc. But this book grabbed my attention. With the end of the Cold War, the Middle East seems to offer the most fertile ground for thriller writers. Land has savvily set his 19th novel in the newly independent Palestinian West Bank. The story follows Ben Kamal, an American Arab policeman who has returned to his homeland to help train the Palestinian Police Forces, and Danielle Barnea, a female Shin Bet agent, as they join forces to track down a serial killer, Al-Dib "The Wolf".
This book is a marvel. It contains all that is best and worst in current writing. Land's story is exciting and the plot rockets forward. The characters are extremely likable. The opposition that Kamal and Barnea face from their own bosses & from a hostile populace add a terrific layer of tension. However, the book also has about three endings & just keeps going on & on; it would be much better less 75 pages. And it contains one of the most annoying creatures in modern detective fiction, the rogue hero, in this case ex-Colonel Frank Brickland, who will do the dirty work that our central heroes can not do--think of Hawk in the Spenser series.
With all that, I think if you're about to get on an airplane & you're looking for a good, quick, big-print read, you won't do much better than this one.
GRADE C+
"The Walls of Jericho" marks a departure from the typical Jon Land thriller. While many of his earlier works were non-stop action, this one is lighter on the action and more on the development of the overall story and character development. One reason for the added character development was due to the introduction of two major new characters -- Ben Kamal and Danielle Barnea. These two are the central figures in all but one of Land's last seven novels.
This one centers around Ben and Danielle's search for a serial killer who has committed a number of murders in the city of Jericho. Their job is to discover the identity of the killer who calls himself the Wolf and capture him before the killings continue. The tracking of the serial killer is reminiscent of Ben's tracking of another serial killer named the Sandman, who in the past had killed his family. Danielle's motivation is to better herself and prove herself to her ailing father.
While tracking the Wolf, Ben and Danielle learn that there's more to the situation than the serial killer. Both Ben's and Danielle's superiors want the Wolf captured to avoid worsening the already tense political situation between their two peoples -- the Israelis and the Palenstinians. As they get deeper into the investigation, they discover a third party is involved which only complicates matters.
"The Walls of Jericho", while still a good read, is not up the standards set by the better of the Blaine McCracken novels ("The Omicron Legion", "The Fires of Midnight", etc.). The storyline moves slowly at times and some characters are introduced only to be quickly removed from the storyline. The third party involved, while integral to the overall plot, felt a bit out of place at times. Overall, it's still a worthy read if you're a fan of Jon Land's works and political thrillers.
What happy now in that area happen the same as now. It say I hope one day it changes people be a peace..
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is the first in a series and I am now working on the third book. It is a well written murder mystery and he really works in the problems going on in the middle east without overwhelming the rest of the story. Great sewries!
Great read. Excellent start to series. Interesting protagonists and storyline. Anyone who likes action and intrigue will enjoy as well as mystery lovers.
