SEARCHING FOR SOLOMON HENRIQUES

SEARCHING FOR SOLOMON HENRIQUES

SEARCHING FOR SOLOMON HENRIQUES

Searching for Solomon Henriques


By Harry A. Ezratty
 

   Searching for Solomon Henriques is the story of a Sephardic family divided by the Spanish Expulsion and Portuguese Inquisition of the 15th Century. During the hard-fought years of World War II, Lt. Jg. James Ennis rises through the ranks to become a submarine commander. As his war-time adventures take him to foreign ports, an overwhelming sense of déjà vu accompanies him. He senses the family’s progress not only in Spain and Portugal, but with new-found freedoms in 16th Century Amsterdam and in the 18th Century hellhole that was the slave quarters on the island of Malta. And then, on special assignment with the French Underground in 1944, Jim meets his Dutch look-alike, Aarnald Henriques. Is Jim another descendant of the Spanish and Portuguese Henriques family? And would Solomon Ennis, a hero of the American Revolution, be the missing link to the Henriques family? But who was Solomon Henriques? When did he die? Where was he buried? And how was he connected to the first American Ennis?

 Breaking Up a Confederate Spy Ring


By Harry A. Ezratty
 

  In April 1864, Noah de Leon Pardo, a Jewish Major in the Union army, is assigned to the new Bureau of Military Information headquartered in Baltimore. He soon becomes aware of a daring plot: Gen. Robert E. Lee’s army, aided by insurrectionists, will attack and capture the cities of Washington and Baltimore… and kidnap Pres. Lincoln in the process. 

Based on historical fact, the Bureau of Military Information is rich with descriptions of the period. Much of this story unfolds at Baltimore’s Lloyd Street Synagogue, where a secret spy plans to put Lee’s plot in motion.

Flags of Convenience

When Convenience can mean Disaster


By Harry A. Ezratty

   

A flag of convenience is a foreign flag under which a merchant vessel is registered for purposes of reducing operating costs or avoiding government regulations; registry of a merchant ship under a foreign flag in order to profit from less restrictive regulations.

By the end of the 20th Century, more than 6,000 of the world’s merchant ships, many built in the United States, were registered under ‘flags of convenience.’  This novel is the story of two ships flying flags of convenience. One is a merchant vessel; the other a cruise ship. Be thankful you weren’t sailing aboard either of them. Flags of Convenience is a Dan Nikolas, Esq. courtroom drama.
