Hiding in America

About the Book

This is a sequel to the award-winning Massacre at Sirte. It is the third book in a five-book series, which involves the slaughter of Coptic Christians by ISIS in Sirte, Libya, in 2015. In this book, Mekhaeil Zacharias, a sixteen-year-old Copt who was spared by ISIS, travels to New York City, with assistance from Egyptian countrymen, to hide from them, since they now wish to find and kill him. Mekhaeil is dazzled by the bright lights of the city, as well as a beautiful nineteen-year-old Muslim girl, living a lie, and loses his moral compass. Is he still a Coptic Christian? Or has he become someone else? He questions his religious beliefs and his purpose in life.
