Simply put, Merle Nygate is one of the best spy novelists writing today. I.S. Berry

In the aftermath of Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel, Mossad's London station chief, Eli Amiram, is fighting battles on all fronts. When his ambitious rival plans an assassination on British soil—supposedly authorised by Trump supporters—Eli suspects a deeper conspiracy.

Meanwhile, British intelligence asset Petra is hunting for redemption. Tasked with recruiting Wasim Al-Arikhi—whose sister she failed to save from becoming a suicide bomber—Petra is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Can Wasim be trusted, or has she become a target?

As Eli and Petra's paths converge, they discover that in the shadow world of international espionage, the greatest threats often come from within. They must confront not just their enemies, but their own moral choices. A sophisticated spy thriller that weaves together tradecraft, betrayal, and the human cost of intelligence work.
