A New York City homicide detective races against the clock to stop a terrorist attack on a world-famous Catskills resort during the Passover holiday

When NYPD lieutenant Barry Wintraub starts investigating the murder of a Jewish Defense League member, he stumbles on a plot to blow up the New Prospect resort in the Catskills, where over one thousand of Israel’s top financial supporters will be celebrating Passover with their families and the guest of honor, an important Israeli general. Wintraub’s partner and captain aren’t convinced that the conspiracy exists, but the owner of the New Prospect acknowledges the detective’s hunch and invites him and his family to stay for the celebration.

The Terrorist’s Holiday presents a unique take on extremist plots—the two terrorists, a handsome young man and his beautiful girlfriend, are morally challenged by what they are about to do . . . and they realize, perhaps too late, that an even more deadly threat awaits all who visit the world-class resort.

Let us all pray that Andrew’s genius imagination never translates to reality.” —Tania Grossinger, author of Growing Up at Grossinger’s

“[Andrew Neiderman is] an expert weaver of suspense.” —Fresh Fiction

At first the death of a young Jew outside a synagogue looks like an ordinary street crime. But as NYPD Lieutenant Barry Weintraub investigates he finds evidence of a possible plot by Islamic terrorists to blow up a gathering of wealthy Jews and an Israeli war hero during the Passover celebration at an exclusive Catskills resort. When he cannot convince his superiors that the evidence is strong enough to warrant a serious commitment of resources, Barry decides he should at least warn the resort owner, who invites Barry to bring his family to the resort to celebrate Passover and to investigate the case further.
The situation has great potential for a topnotch thriller, and Andrew Neiderman handles it masterfully. He vividly conveys the scene from the perspective of both the terrorists and the potential victims who are innocently celebrating Passover with their families. Neiderman manages to capture both in this passage, in which terrorist Nessim plans where to place his plastique: “He studied the girders, imagining how they would kick out when the explosives blew away their footings. Perhaps, for a few seconds, the skeleton structures of the upstairs floors would crack with surprise. The sound of the explosions would stop conversation dead. Everyone would hear the tons of material collapsing above. That realization alone might kill some of the older people, some of those who had spent a good part of their lives supporting and working for Israel.” The action and suspense carry on through the final satisfying chapter.
What could be the outline simply for a rousing adventure story, Neiderman develops into a study of human emotions and motivations. I’ve been talking about this book a lot, and, despite the excellent plot, what I find myself praising most often is the characters. Most people cannot easily imagine the motivation of extremists and tend to stereotype them. Neiderman cleverly portrays both Jewish and Islamist extremists, nursing legitimate grievances until the grievances take over their lives but still feeling the normal emotions that are common to everyone. Probably the best example of this was Nessim, who cannot subdue his love for his girlfriend Clea even while he plans a terrorist act expected to kills thousands. “Whenever she suggested the future, he felt an anger build within himself….The future was a promise he could only dream of making….He was on his way to oblivion and had stopped to enjoy life. What a fool.”
One of Neiderman’s earlier books, The Devil’s Advocate, was made into a movie, and The Terrorist’s Holiday would seem tailor-made for the large screen. But read the book now; it would be a shame to wait.

The New Prospect is a large resort hotel in the Catskills. Some of Israel’s top financial supporters and their families, 3,000 people, will spend their Passover holiday there. And on the third day, they will hear from famous Israeli General Chaim Eban.

New York homicide detective Barry Wintraub begins investigating the murder of a young Jewish Defense League member. A suspicious want ad and a brochure advertising the New Prospect makes him suspect a possible assassination attempt at the New Prospect, but his partner and his boss both dismiss his suspicions. So he uses some vacation time and takes his family for a holiday at the New Prospect to continue his investigation.

Nessim, a top Hezbollah agent, has been charged with carrying out a terrorist scheme at the New Prospect but one much larger than the mere assassination of General Chaim. An important Hezbollah leader is directing the scheme. But some little details bother Nessim and he begins to worry that the plan is being compromised.

Different chapters show Barry’s progress, Nessim’s progress, and apparently irrelevant developments and conversations among other people who are going to the New Prospect.

Plot development is slow up until the end. Several characters are annoying Jewish caricatures and add little to the plot. A few sex scenes also add very little to the plot. But the terrorist scheme is truly epic and it looks unstoppable because Barry thinks he is only dealing with an assassination attempt. A secondary plot is anticlimactic and is dealt with implausibly.

The Terrorist's Holiday is centered around "The New Prospect," an exclusive Cat Skill's Resort where thousands of Israel's big wig, big name, big money supporters have gathered with their families to celebrate Passover. This world class resort is also the center of attention for the terrorists - a young couple that, to some degree, appear to be experiencing a moral conflict. Of course the detective is trying to ensure the safety of the guests and thwart the terrorist plan. While the terrorists want to secure the most effective area to place their bombs.

I loved "The Devil's Advocate," and "The Hunted," and I wanted to love this one - and I kept hoping that somewhere, within the 300 pages the writer I enjoyed so much previously would take over and save "The Terrorist's Holiday." The concept was there - but it was clumsily delivered. Starting with the resort - that should've been a 'character' itself - Much like it was in the 80's classic, Dirty Dancing. There were too many characters, it was very difficult to keep them all straight. A defined character list at the front of the book would've helped. There are people we meet, but their involvement in the story has no effect whatsoever on the story... (So why muddy the waters with unnecessary people?) The main characters had their problems too...For example: I can not see a detective taking his wife and kids to a resort he believes has been targeted for attack. I just never connected with the characters. It read like an older book - it felt dated and underdeveloped. In a nutshell, it's okay - If you find yourself snowed in with nothing to read, The Terrorist's Holiday will fill the hours.
