About the book: 2016 / Prose writer, essayist and translator Jonathan Wilson (1951) wrote a fascinating - you can't put it down - thriller in the spirit of Graham Greene's novels. 1924, Palestine under British Mandate. Artist Mark Bloomberg and his wife Joyce, not a Jew but an ardent Zionist, witness the murder of the Orthodox Jacob de Groot. A seemingly everyday murder turns out to be at the center of interests of the British, the Orthodox, and the Zionists, and Bloomberg and his wife willy-nilly are drawn into their dirty games. Jonathan Wilson ties the tangled threads of political intrigue and love passions into a deadly tangle.
