Love and Faith John Hartig

Love and Faith Trilogy: Book Three takes over in October 2014 with the last two months of Symon Schröder's life. He is dying of pancreatic cancer. ISIS is still a thriving entity in the overall scheme of things, alive and doing quite well in the Middle East and other parts of the world where they radicalize young people, often disillusioned with jobs and politics in the West. While Symon dies in Book Three, there is a lighter side, as individual romances are developed among the two main couples: fictional author, Christopher Unger, and his old flame, Lenya; and then, the other couple, Detective Spencer and Fahm, who fall in love. By Book Three, the relationship between Spencer and Fahm has blossomed. They court, become Christian, get married and decide to go to Paris [France of course] on their honeymoon. Going to Paris on a honeymoon is a romantic notion, but not at the time they choose! It is Wednesday January 7th, 2014! Saïd and Chérif Kouachi break into the Charlie Hebdo magazine offices with assault rifles. They shoot anybody in sight in revenge for their Prophet, Muhammad, being satirized in a cartoon. In total, the brothers kill 12 people that day, and then get away in a stolen car. They are on the loose for three days! Spencer and Fahm could have wished for a better honeymoon. But not all is lost...
