Description

Tel Aviv Noir is set in Tel Aviv, often regarded as the cultural capital of Israel and home to many of the country's finest writers. This unparalleled collection offers insight into the daily life of Israelis through a noir lens.

Despite its outwardly warm and polite exterior, Tel Aviv has quite a bit to hide—a fringe benefit of a country that mandates military service. Tel Aviv Noir reveals the concealed, scarred face of this vibrant and growing city.
