WHITESTONE BOOK CLUB
BOOK CLUB REVIEWS - April 2026

When an Israeli tech entrepreneur disappears from Charles de Gaulle airport with a woman in red, Israel is on a state of high alert. Colonel Abadi, the new head of Unit 8200's autonomous Special Section, who just happens to be in Paris, arrived on the same flight.

  For Commissaire Léger of the Paris Police coincidences are suspicious. When a second young Israeli is kidnapped at gunpoint from his hotel room soon after arriving on the same flight, his suspicions are confirmed - and a diplomatic incident looms.

Back in Tel Aviv, Abadi's deputy is working to identify the victims and the reasons behind their abduction. In Paris a covert Chinese assassination team listens as the investigation unfurls and watches from the rooftops. The clock has been set - this turns out to be a long night in Paris.

The author is a former Israeli  intelligence officer and has used his experience to create this complex thriller.

  Feedback from our group was mixed. Characters are well drawn, the plot is complex and confusing and there  is too much detailed description of organisations. The book is too lengthy maybe impacted by the translation into English.  Fast paced at times, boring at times.

Our next meeting is on May 11th.
