Expelled Mossad agent, Ronen, has disappeared following a failed
assassination attempt on the life of the Hezbollah operative
responsible for suicide bombings in Israel. Feared to be on an
unauthorized mission that will bring catastrophe to his country,
Ronen must be found and his former commander, Gadi, takes it upon
himself to track him down. The resulting physical and intellectual
scuffle between the two men becomes one of deeper, moral inquiry.
'... high stakes, and the brutal complexity and fear of today's
fragmented Middle East ... Ben-David delivers spy thrillers with
all the authenticity and inside knowledge of an ex-Mossad agent'
Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of JERUSALEM: THE BIOGRAPHY
When a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv violently disrupts his life,
Mickey Simhoni abandons his plans to become an artist and instead
allows himself to be recruited into the Mossad. Slowly, he learns
the art of spycraft the and painstaking process of building a
cover, becoming someone else whom he resembles, who is presumed
dead. His cover story takes him to Toronto where he meets and
earlier flame -- Niki, a girl he had hooked up with in Tokyo a
decade earlier. Mickey is torn between loyalty to the Mossad and
his intense feelings for Niki -- which the ever-resourceful Niki
partially resolves with an unusual decision. But still Mickey's
dilemma persists, as he oscillates between duty and love, his
complex operations in the Mossad threatening to kill their love.
When his final operation in Algiers goes badly wrong, the rage and
hatred engendered, and the utter humiliation visited on then, leads
to a traumatic conclusion.
Yogev Ben-Ari has been sent to St Petersburg by the Mossad -
ostensibly to set up business links. His life is solitary, ordered
and lonely, until he meets Anna. Neither is quite what they seem to
be, but there is no doubt about the love they feel for each other.
This encounter is definitely not part of the Mossad plan and they
hatch a dark scheme to drive the two apart. Ben-Ari has no time to
discover the truth about Anna's real identity before the Mossad
resolves the issue for him. But still Ben-Ari doesn't give up,
determined to learn the truth about their love. Amid the shadowy
manipulations of the secret services, Mishka Ben-David depicts the
world of a Mossad agent who chooses, against all odds, to fight for
his right to be with the woman he loves.
