To my mind this is the best of the detective stories written by this author who died last year and was referred to as 'the Israeli P.D. James'. With the Second Intifada as backgound, Chief Inspector Michael Ohayon, familiar from the author's previous books, investigates the murder of a young woman and uncovers one of the most hidden secrets in the history of Israel. Absorbing!
