Oleg Lurye is an Israeli writer, journalist and author of high-profile journalistic investigations dealing with corruption cases and mafia activities in different countries, from Russia to the United States. Oleg Lurye has been repeatedly harassed, both by the secret services of various countries and by international criminal groups, because of his revealing articles and books. Two attempts have been made on his life.
Oleg Lurye took part, over a period of about twenty years, in independent investigations of various major events, such as the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York, the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II, the assassination of President Kennedy, and the multibillion-dollar theft of international loan to Russia, in the 1990s.

For many years I have investigated precisely such facts in the Kennedy assassination, in the September 11 attacks, in the attempted assassination of the pontiff in 1981, in the mysterious disappearances of billions of dollars in the IMF and others. And then he combined these facts with a certain fiction and turned them into a work of fiction. My guess is that reality and fiction in the Mirror Above the Abyss are roughly fifty-fifty. Thanks for your question,(less)

On second thought, these are probably not mysteries but some unexpected impressions and weird coincidences. For instance, the idea for my novel entitled “A Mirror Above the Abyss” dates back 20 years.
At 10 am on September 11, 2001, I was scheduled to have a meeting in the WTC South Tower as part of my investigative reporting, but the meeting was cancelled the day before because my prospective source was too busy, and rescheduled for October.
I had always been delighted by the WTC towers because of their austere beauty and grandeur, and I felt like I needed to see them once again before leaving New York. In the early hours of September 11, 2001, I was wandering around the WTC towers, and all of a sudden I felt like I would never see them again. Perhaps it was just a premonition that it would be long before I saw my beloved New York City again? I don't know. And a few hours later, still very early in the morning on September 11, 2001, I flew out of JFK. When I landed in Frankfurt, I heard about the tragedy… About 9/11.
The rescheduled meeting never took place. My source had died.

“…After seventeen minutes of panicky crowds destroying everything in their path, Eric could distinguish, despite all the chaos and hellish noise, the slight buzz of a second plane. He started counting to himself, watching the blazing inferno at the North Tower: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…
The second Boeing glided into the South Tower, WTC-2, and it seemed to Eric that this plane was flying slowly, that its impact was a soft one… Due to the pandemonium all around, the impact itself seemed not to be as loud as the first hit. Still, in a moment the second twin was also blazing.
Both skyscrapers were on fire now. Novack looked up again at what had happened a minute before: the terror attack of the century. Then he started walking fast down Church Street, away from the huge buildings that were now on fire. He knew that in about an hour, the South Tower was to collapse completely, and half an hour after that, the same was to happen to the North Tower, which was also weakened by the impact. He knew there were tons of powerful Thermate in both buildings. Over the course of the previous two months, some fake repairmen had brought loads of it into the towers and put them in designated places around the trusswork. It was meant to make buildings collapse like card towers, which would only happen when the flames reached a certain point. The planes had started an unstoppable countdown as soon as they hit the buildings: these were the last minutes of their existence.
Next in line was the third building: 7 WTC, which stood north of the Twin Towers. It counted forty-seven floors, and it too was stuffed with Thermate. Novack started getting concerned, however, that the third plane seemed to be late.
Where’s the third plane? Why is it late? It’s already fifty minutes after the first impact, and they were supposed to hit the three targets with a time lag of about twenty minutes. Where are you, birdie number three? You are no less important than the first two, and you were also promised to my clients…
People were still running in all directions, shouting and bumping into each other. Sirens wailed loudly, heartrendingly; ambulances were rushing around, giving way only to firefighters and emergency rescue teams. Suddenly hundreds of policemen appeared on the streets, but it seemed that they didn’t really know what they were supposed to do. They mostly ran around, yelling into their walkie-talkies. At Thomas Street, Eric walked into a parking lot: the gate arm was up and the security guy must have left, for the door of his booth stood wide open…

…Two shots rang out simultaneously during the fifth and the longest second. They were executed synchronously, creating a single, stinging, deadly sound. The bullet from the sixth floor of the book depository went straight up into the sky, as planned. The second bullet shot out of a sniper rifle, held confidently in the arms of a woman behind the hedge, on the grassy knoll. It was her bullet that struck the head of the 35th US president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
The woman walked quickly down the grassy knoll. Stepping only about five meters away, she put her rifle into a baby pram waiting there, with a real six-month-old baby boy whimpering inside it. She put on thick glasses and started walking away, exhibiting no haste. Only thirty seconds after the second shot, the woman was gone, nowhere to be seen…
After the second or, rather, the third shot, the one from the knoll, President Kennedy’s head was tossed back. Jackie somehow managed to crawl onto the back hood of the car. A security agent from the escort car had already reached them. The motorcade picked up speed and disappeared under the overpass. Zapruder’s camera kept whirring for some seconds. He must have filmed the whole operation – that is, the assassination of an acting US president. But now he simply stood there without saying a word, completely dumbfounded...”

“Прошло 17 минут паники, сносившей все на своем пути, и Эрик сквозь адский шум услышал пока еще тонкое завывание второго самолета. Раз, два, три, четыре, пять, - тихо считал он, не отрывая взгляда от пожара, полыхавшего на северной башне, - шесть, семь…
Второй «Боинг» медленно и, как показалось Эрику, мягко влетел в северную башню «ВТЦ-2». Из-за шума вокруг удар показался тише, чем первый, но, тем не менее, и второй «близнец» моментально озарился огнем. Оба небоскреба пылали.
Новак еще раз посмотрел туда, где только, что произошел «теракт века», взглянул на часы, и быстро пошел по Черч-стрит в сторону от горящих громадин. Он знал, что примерно через час должна была полностью разрушиться Южная башня, а через полтора часа такой же конец ожидал и травмированную самолетом Северную башню. Тонны мощного термейта, которые в течение двух месяцев тайно проносились и закладывались в несущие конструкции зданий фальшивыми ремонтными рабочими, должны были сложить здания, как карточные домики. Но только после того, как пламя достигнет определенных точек. Таймер, чей неумолимый отсчет запустили врезавшиеся самолеты, начал отсчитывать последние минуты.
Но на очереди было и третье здание – 47-ми этажный небоскреб ВТЦ-7, отгороженный двумя другими небоскрёбами от «Близнецов», и также нашпигованный грозным термейтом. Задержка третьего самолета смертников очень беспокоило Новака.
- Где третий самолет? Почему он опаздывает? Уже прошло пятьдесят минут после первого взрыва, а они должны были ударить по трем объектам с временным промежутком примерно в двадцать минут. Где ты, третья птичка? Не менее важная птичка, также обещанная заказчикам.
