The Covenant is Naomi Ragen at her finest hour.—Faye Kellerman, author of Straight into Darkness"A scrupulously fair-minded and riveting tale of current Israel. A deft mix of past and present, the story's as much political thriller as conventional tale about the ties of family and friendship." -Kirkus"Ragen's skill at storytelling has been proven time and again. In The Covenant she not only manages to keep up the exciting momentum, but it is probably her strongest book to date." -Ruth Eglash, The Jerusalem Post"An emotionally charged and engrossing book, The Covenant is a tribute to the power of friendship and the strength of love in the face of evil." -India Edghill, author of Wisdom's Daughter: A Novel of Solomon and Sheba"The Covenant…brings the headlines heartbreakingly home and redefines the unlimited boundaries of lifelong friendship."—Gay Courter, author of The Midwife and Code Ezra
