His commander gives him a mission to go back to Canada to sabotage the Toronto subway. He is given a false passport with the name of Ossi. The plan to bomb the subway is foiled. Ossi goes to plan B which is to track down his sister, Fahm, and there in Hamilton, to carry out yet another honor killing. Detective Spencer saves Fahm. They fall in love, giving the novel a romantic twist. Meanwhile, Abbas, in Toronto can't wait for Ahmad's return, so he initiates his own plan to hijack an airplane which he wants to fly into the CN Tower. This plan also does not work and Abbas is killed, crashing into Lake Ontario with the plane. The pilot survives. However, Ahmad makes a successful get-away from Hamilton back to Toronto and miraculously gets a flight out of the country back to Turkey, so he can rejoin ISIL.Canada experiences tragedies as a nation. Patrice Vincent, a soldier, is killed by a vehicle driven by an ISIS terrorist in Quebec, and Corporal Nathan Cirillo is shot dead doing guard duty at the War Memorial on Parliament Hill without a loaded rifle! Symon Schröder's health deteriorates from pancreatic cancer. He determines to take his camera and make one more photographic jaunt down Ball's Falls. He writes a stirring poem at the end of Book Two of the Love and Faith Trilogy.
Symon Schröder, a scenery photographer, stumbles across a dead woman in the woods off The Bruce Trail, near Ball's Falls, Ontario. Khalisa is the victim of an honor killing committed by her own brother, Ahmad, because neither he nor the parents wanted her to date Christopher, a "white infidel". Ahmad gets away with the crime for almost 2 years. He takes computer classes at Mohawk College in Hamilton. During this time, he kills an older lady, Carmen, who was getting better marks than him in a class and who gets hired instead of him for a job. Symon, in the meantime, is also registered in a web design class at Mohawk College and gets to know Carmen at coffee breaks. At one point, Symon plucks up enough courage to go back to the scene of the crime at Ball's Falls where he pokes around in the dirt and digs up a silver necklace which belonged to Khalisa. The inscription reads, "To Khalisa, Love Christopher". This is enough of a clue which eventually leads to Ahmad as the killer. The parents empty their bank account and Ahmad escapes to Turkey where he crosses the border to join ISIS.
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...
