Description
THE CRIME YOU CANNOT CONTEMPLATE
A sixteen-year-old boy has vanished in Tel Aviv. Detective Avraham Avraham knows that children are never kidnapped or killed in Israel. But this time he is wrong.
THE SUSPECT YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND
Avraham struggles to picture the boy, his life, his family – but he remains as elusive as his non-existent trail. Only the boy’s neighbour shares Avraham’s quiet obsession.
THE SOLUTION YOU CANNOT FACE
As days slip by and Avraham grows desperate, the truth waits to emerge from behind the one door he has left unopened. Dark and devastating, it will twist everything he knows.
