Erez Aharoni has delivered a fully enthralling mystery.
I found myself hooked from the prologue.
The story centers around Ofer Angel who has not had what one would call an easy life.
We first meet Ofer as he learns his father is dead, supposedly having taken his own life.
Fast forward 10 years later to Ofer who is now an intern at a prestigious law firm. He is tasked with keeping tabs on a witness for a very important case. One of my favourite moments was when Ofer realizes that his charge is someone whose facial hair he vowed to pluck one by one when he saw him at his father's funeral.
Full of twists and turns, you will find this story hard to put down.
Ofer must race against the clock to find a cure to a disease he has been infected with, learn who is framing him and just plain survive!
This is one thrill ride you will be glad you went on!

Ofer Angel hasn't had the easy life. His Father apparently committed suicide and was rumored to being involved in bad business deals. Through his own drive and need to succeed he was able to finish law school. After that his life takes a very different turn of events. He was spending the night with an expert witness for his firm and woke up to find him dead. The chain of events after that lead you on a page turning adventure to solve how the witness died, if he himself is going to die, and of course he never did believe this fathers death was a suicide.
The author Erez Aharoni is a lawyer and veteran Israeli air force pilot wrote a very easy to follow well written book that is a fast read because you just can't stop. You always want to finish that next page to know what happens.

This was a very exciting book. The fact that what happens in the book could happen today is especially scary.

Too long & Complicated
The book had too many subplots going on at the same time & was hard to follow. The detailed sex scenes were not necessary to the plot at all!
