A modern-day political thriller, The Time Remaining grapples with murder,
romance, and international politics. Dodge Didier Gilchrist, a Pulitzer
Prize–winning journalist and consummate ladies’ man, finds himself
embroiled in an international conflict when his former college roommate,
Palestinian scholar Sharif Tabry, is killed under mysterious circumstances.
Tabry’s niece, Raya, who has been recently released from incarceration
in Israel, begins working for Gilchrist in Washington, DC. When she is
injured while trying to save Tabry, Gilchrist quickly discovers he has deep
feelings for her.
Gilchrist embarks on a wild ride from Washington to Israel and
Palestine as he learns from both Israelis and Palestinians of the suffering
of Palestinians under occupation. This spurs an investigation that leads
him up the ranks of the Israeli government and into a series of dangerous
events. A fast-paced, suspenseful novel, The Time Remaining will keep
readers absorbed in Gilchrist and Raya’s growing romance and intrigued
by the exciting political drama that wrestles with the complexities of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
