Michael C. Doyle

Heaven and Hell is a stunningly original, erotic and immensely thought-provoking novel about a Jewish journalist, Michael Cohen, sent by a London news agency to uncover secret plans to rebuild the Temple on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, next to the Mosque on the Dome of the Rock. Tempted by women and fascinated by them following a disturbing childhood experience, Cohen undergoes a spiritual crisis that leads to his conversion to Christianity, accusations of proselytising to the Jews, a spell in a mental hospital and a climactic spiritual salvation.
