Chicago author’s fictional trilogy chronicles little known terrorist cell that covertly operated in Chicago during the 1980s
Former Cook County State’s Attorney Jerome G. Silbert has written a trilogy that highlights little known terrorists that operated in Chicago during the 1980s. Using his knowledge of the law to author the third book in the trilogy, a book entitled “Revenge” (part of a three-book trilogy) was written to shine a light on the damage that the Serbian Liberation Army was capable of activating. “Revenge” is a fictional account of the SLA’s organization, involving a smart retired Chicago police detective named Billie Dee.
Dee uncovers a dangerous conspiracy by members of the SLA, a small, American, militant, far-left, dangerous organization created between 1973 and 1975, which claimed to be a vanguard movement.
After returning from a trip to Paris, Dee discovers that the SLA sends a warning to him, blowing up his house. It’s the start of an investigation that leads to a perilous game of cat and mouse, leaving in its wake a series of dead bodies.
Silbert s character Billy Dee follows a criminal trail that leads from Paris to Chicago to a small town in Indiana. Along the way he finds himself embroiled in a far-reaching vendetta involving a French convict, a mysterious female assassin, and SLA hitmen, who all seek revenge for perceived slights.
Silbert shares his experiences in a fast-paced series and reads like a movie. This saga will surprise readers who are unaware of this terrorist cell in Chicago that flew beneath the radar.
The Silbert trilogy is available on Amazon or in bookstores through Ingram Sparks.
Other titles are: “Paris Gone Dark,” and “A Bomb in the Palace.”
