Publisher's summary

From the streets of Atlanta to the alleys of Jerusalem, Chosen People is an international legal drama where hidden motives thrive, the risk of death is real, and the search for truth has many faces.

During a terrorist attack near the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a courageous mother sacrifices her life to save her four-year-old daughter, leaving behind a grieving husband and a motherless child.

Hana Abboud, a Christian Arab Israeli lawyer trained at Hebrew University, typically uses her language skills to represent international clients for an Atlanta law firm. When her boss is contacted by Jakob Brodsky, a young Jewish lawyer pursuing a lawsuit on behalf of the woman’s family under the US Anti-Terrorism laws, he calls on Hana’s expertise to take point on the case. After careful prayer, she joins forces with Jakob, and they quickly realize the need to bring in a third member for their team, an Arab investigator named Daud Hasan, based in Israel.

As the case evolves, this team of investigators will uncover truths that will forever change their understanding of justice, heritage, and what it means to be chosen for a greater purpose.

Chosen People

As always Robert Whitlow never disappoints your expectations. I have read every novel he has written and love each and everyone of them. This one was really surprising and enticing with his story line going to Israel. Can't wait for his next novel in January 2020!

Action Filled

A rather predictable outcome but quite a journey. I didn’t realize I was going to read quite the depth of the Jewish religion.

Thank you Robert Whitlow

Thank you for showing the world that a page turning, fast action story can be written without using bad language. A sign of integrity and intelligence.
I wish more authors would realize that bad language detracts from the story and shows up the authors limited vocabulary.
This was my first book with this author. I plan to read many more of his books. Thelma Bontrager.

Great Story of Loss, Faith, and Hope!

The story touched my heart in many ways, ultimately calling for worship. I will remember it.

Good Story - Novice Narration

The story was good and kept my interest. My only (story) criticism is that it could have gone into greater depth to explore the worlds of each character. This would make a great movie. Narration, however, was lacking in voice differentiation and feeling. Another reviewer mentioned that it felt like the narrator was simply reading from a book. I agree.
