Examining radical Islam, describing the mindset of jihadists and their diametrical opposition to western Judeo-Christian thought and the motivation behind Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, is the centerpiece of this week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers. There is also a humor-tinged analysis of the hard-left turn that the party formed to elect Andrew Jackson took after John F. Kennedy’s 1,000 — especially within the last two decades. There is a further examination of hard-left turns of other institutions, notably the progressiveness that has taken hold among some evangelicals. And for fiction enthusiasts, there is the latest in a series of New York Times bestselling novels.
“Den of Iniquity: A J.P. Beaumont Novel,” by J.A. Jance (William Morrow)
While former Seattle homicide cop J.P. “Beau” Beaumont is dealing with some family issues, an old friend asks him to look into the apparent fentanyl overdose death of a young man. The decedent’s friends all say that he would never have taken the drug and suggest it was a possible homicide. After Beau agrees and begins digging into the case, he soon discovers a number of similar deaths — and they all point to an unlikely vigilante killer, resulting in what Publisher’s Weekly predicts “newcomers and longtime series fans alike will be thrilled.” “What can make me blow off a whole day of work, but make me feel so accomplished at the same time? A new book by J.A. Jance…especially one with J.P. Beaumont in the lead!,” wrote Perrin Larton for GoodReads. “I’m a fan of this series, can you tell? I love all of Ms. Jance’s books, but I must confess, I have a soft spot for the ones starring J.P. Beaumont! Can’t wait for the next one.” [Fiction]“If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them,” by Jesse Petrilla (Bombardier Books)
