Detective Avraham is assigned to a case where a fake bomb is placed near a Tel Aviv daycare center. While investigating the crime he becomes suspicious of a father of two young boys and begins an investigation.
Even as the crime points to possible other actors Avraham knows something is not right with the father. He contiunes his investigation even when his supervisor advises against it.
A POSSIBILITY OF VIOLENCE is set in Israel and gives interesting insight into law enforcement in other countries. Detective Avraham has to deal with issues of past investigations, current friendship and a distant girlfriend. It leads to a full story with an obvious conclusion. Still Detective Avraham works hard and is very determined even with all his problems. D.A. Mishani writes with twist and turns leading to an intriguing story in A POSSIBILITY OF VIOLENCE.
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. Mishaniβs 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 mistakesβ
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 Avrahamβs intense
investigation? Or perhaps heβs 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 possibleβnot when heβs entangled in
a case more deceptive and abominable than any heβs ever
faced.
