The Aisha Prophecy

Elizabeth Stride the notorious Black Angel had hoped to live quietly at last; no more killing no more being hunted. She now had a family to think of. She had four young girls whom she'd sworn to protect. Especially Aisha beautiful Aisha whom she'd come to think of as a daughter. Add to this a mixed blessing; Martin Kessler was back with her. For two years he'd allowed her to think he was dead. He had his reasons but still she found it hard to forgive him. She would try very hard not to let herself love him. A good man true but almost gleefully reckless and every bit as lethal as she was. <p> All seemed well until the prophecy appeared; it was everywhere; in every language; all over the Internet. It foretold the coming now today of what some called a Muslim Joan of Arc. Aisha the youngest wife of Mohammed had been reborn to show men how they had fallen into error. A fiery angel had come with her to guide and protect her. <p> Aisha and Qaila. Aisha and the Black Angel. She couldn't know that some had already decided that the two might be one and the same. It was heresy they said. They must be found. They must be killed. All this talk of the prophecy would die with them.<p> Maxim who's been writing top-grade thrillers for more than two decades continues to be one of the form's best kept secrets.<p>-Publishers Weekly<p>Top drawer entertainment.<p>-Kirkus Reviews<p>Maxim constructs a complex plot juggles numerous characters andpulls it all off with a cinematic breathless pace.<p>-Library Journal<p>Maxim's super-smart novels simply can't be put down.<p>-Booklist
