I was the only 6th grader who could announce she had already read silence of the lambs twice before the movie came out. Since then I have revisited the novel Red Dragon so many times that I could read the lines from memory along with the actors of the movie.

The kidnapping of Israeli 1972 Olympic athletes in Munich was just the beginning. United States policy was to supply Israel with the means to defend its property and people against
Lots of tension and suspense in this debut by the author which was published back in 1975.

Are you nostalgic for post-Vietnam, early Middle East conflict, height of the cold war espionage/terrorist thrillers? Well, then look no further because all of your interests will be satisfied with Black Sunday.

Now, I was only a little kid at that
