   Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  arubabookwoman | Sep 28, 2023 |    ) Pilgriminal | Nov 12, 2022 |  ) Nikoz | Apr 2, 2020 | It was interesting reading a book set in Israel - the action takes place in Tel Aviv - but the main two characters,Inspector Avraham and the man he is suspicious of, Chaim Sara - seemed very strange and muddled in their thinking and actions. Avraham seemed more inclined to make up his mind about the guilt of Sara without any hard evidence, and was trying to make Sara's actions fit with his thinking which completely coloured his actions, and was very unprofessional for a cop. Sara just seemed strange altogether, there were so many unexplained loose ends about his behaviour. One thing particularly annoyed me, this is the 2nd book featuring Avraham and quite a bit of it was taken up explaining the details of the case that was featured in the 1st book, thus spoiling it for readers who were not reading the series in order. Towards the very end of the book, for no apparent reason, some details were given of what is obviously going to be a new case, and then just left dangling - presumably they will feature in book three. I nearly DNF this book.

HTML: Haunted by the past and his own limitations, Israeli Detective Avraham Avraham must stop a criminal ruthless enough to target children in this evocative and gripping tale of mystery and psychological suspense that is the follow-up to The Missing File, the acclaimed first novel in D. A. Mishani's literary crime series that was shortlisted for the CWA International Dagger Award. An explosive device is found in a suitcase near a daycare center in a quiet suburb of Tel Aviv. A few hours later, a threat is received: the suitcase was only the beginning. Inspector Avraham Avraham, back in Israel after a much-needed vacation, is assigned to the investigation. Tormented by the trauma and failure of his past case, Avraham is determined not to make the same mistakesâ??especially with innocent lives at stake. He may have a break when one of the suspects, a father of two, appears to have gone on the run. Is he the terrorist behind the threat? Is he trying to escape Avraham's intense investigation? Or perhaps he's fleeing a far more terrible crime that no one knows has been committed? No matter how much Avraham wants to atone for the past, redemption may not be possibleâ??not when he's entangled in a case more deceptive and abominable than any he's ever faced Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

In the present case, what appears to be a bomb has been left outside of a daycare center. It does not explode, but the police fear that it may have been a warning--to whom and about what is unknown. Avi begins to suspect that one of the fathers whose son goes to the daycare may be involved in some way, but his superiors think he's on the wrong track.
I like this Israeli series. There are excellent characterizations. It's not a "chase" book or a "shoot-'em-up". It's a more cerebral crime-solving book. And the Israeli setting and culture are interesting. I also like that the detective is not always right, and that he has doubts and is regularly second guessing himself. Amazon describes the series as "more-thoughtful than action-packed," which I quite liked.
