The Jerusalem Incident
The footage was already posted. The world was already ending.
On a Wednesday morning in Jerusalem, travel content creator Jason Branch is filming the city when the Dome of the Rock disappears.
He posts the footage before he fully understands what he's shot. Within minutes, his phone stops buzzing as individual notifications and becomes one continuous vibration - a new language he hadn't needed before.
The footage is out. It can't be taken back.
The Jerusalem Incident follows three figures in the hours and days after the most destabilizing act of destruction in human history: Jason, a war-zone-adjacent creator who filmed the wrong thing at the wrong moment. Gerald, an aging academic whose quiet eschatological obsession led him to a valley in Israel with a decision he never expected to have to live with. And an unnamed father in Phoenix, watching two televisions simultaneously as the world his son loved goes dark, one city at a time.
Written in spare, controlled prose in the tradition of Cormac McCarthy and Hemingway, The Jerusalem Incident is a taut literary thriller about footage that can't be unseen, consequences that can't be undone, and the particular terror of understanding something too late.
Perfect for readers of Daniel Silva, Brad Thor, and literary suspense in the tradition of Don DeLillo's Falling Man.
The world will never be the same.
