Le passager israélien fraîchement débarqué à Roissy ne pensait pas que sa mauvaise plaisanterie allait si mal tourner. La blonde qui servait d'appât ne savait pas à quelle danse macabre elle participait. Les Chinois chargés d'orchestrer l'enlèvement n'avaient pas la moindre idée du guêpier dans lequel ils se fourraient. Ni qu'un grain de sable s'était glissé dans les rouages bien huilés de la grande machine du crime organisé. Mais au fait, qui est aux commandes? Mafias, services secrets, gouvernements? Entre Paris et Tel-Aviv, Washington et Macao, les vingt-quatre heures les plus folles qu'un commissaire français, un gang chinois, un officier israélien désabusé et son intrépide adjointe aient jamais connues.

From a former Israeli spy, comes the most realistic and authentic thriller of the year. TheTimes Number One Bestseller Winner of the CWA International Dagger. A Times, Telegraph and FT pick for Summer Reads 2019, and an FT Thriller of the Year "The year's best espionage thriller" Daily Telegraph Best Books of 2019 "Gripping, smart and shot through with dry wit. A terrific read" Simon Beckett When an Israeli tech exec disappears from Charles de Gaulle airport with a woman in red, logic dictates youthful indiscretion. But Israel is on a state of high alert nonetheless. Colonel Zeev Abadi, the new head of Unit 8200's Special Section, just happens to have arrived on the same flight. For Commissaire Léger of the Paris Police, all coincidences are suspect. When a second young Israeli from the flight is kidnapped, this time at gunpoint from his hotel room, his suspicions are confirmed - and a diplomatic crisis looms. As the race to identify the victims and the reasons behind their abductions intensifies, a covert Chinese commando team watches from the rooftops, while hour by hour the morgue receives fresh bodies from around Paris. This could be one long night in the City of Lights. Translated from the Hebrew by Daniela Zamir
