Um einer konstruierten Anklage wegen Piraterie zu entgehen, lässt sich der Schiffsingenieur Tom Dugan im Auftrag der CIA in die Firma eines Freundes, des Londoner Schiffseigentümers Alex Kairouz, einschleusen. Dugan glaubt jedoch keine Sekunde daran, dass Alex, wie behauptet, in terroristische Machenschaften verwickelt ist, und das bringt ihn immer wieder in Konflikte mit seinen Einsatzleitern, aber auch mit einer attraktiven britischen Agentin, mit der er schon bald eine enge, nicht nur dienstliche Beziehung unterhält.Als dann in der Nähe von Singapur ein herrenloser Tanker mit einer toten Crew aufgefunden wird und ein weiterer in Panama explodiert, wird Dugan die Verantwortung für diese Angriffe untergeschoben. Fest davon überzeugt, dass die Anschläge nur die Vorankündigung von weit schlimmeren Attacken sind, folgt Dugan einer heißen Spur nach Russland. Dort allerdings wird er von einer russischen Speznas-Einheit als »Berater« für ein Himmelfahrtskommando zwangsverpflichtet. Jetzt beginnt eine nervenzerreißende Odyssee um die halbe Welt – auf den Decks der Tanker, die den Durst der Welt nach Öl stillen und gerade deshalb zur Zielscheibe finsterer Mächte werden.

As Scotland Yard chief forensics detective Eric Shaw works a case with some resemblance to a crime he investigated twenty years earlier, he is convinced it is just a coincidence. But when more deaths occur in a style similar to those killings from the past, Shaw suspects that he has a serial killer on his hands—one who is pursuing a personal, cold-blooded vendetta.
Working closely with his protégée, Detective Miriam Leroux, Shaw analyzes the crimes down to the finest detail. He finds himself increasingly drawn to the lab, where criminologist Adele Pennington, a beautiful, enigmatic woman more than two decades his junior, proves distracting. Determined to maintain his professionalism despite the attraction, Shaw struggles to keep her at arm’s length. Yet Pennington’s unique insight proves critical, and as the investigation develops, so does their personal connection. With a killer on the loose, Shaw must follow a winding, blood-soaked trail that will take him in an unexpected and terrifying direction.

Journalist Leon Abramowitz never intended to immigrate to Palestine. Yet in 1922 four years after he was sent there from Europe to report in the lives of the pioneers, he discovers that the editor who dispatched him has run off with half the papers money leaving Leon forgotten in The Promised Widerness. This chain of events opens The World a Moment Later, which tells the story of Abramowitz and his two childern. This is also the story of Yehezkel Klein, an ex-underground activist who wanted to be a 'regular' Zionist but finds himself instead taking a vow of protest against his country- to never leave his apartment; Lev Gutkin, a handsome Russian who arrives in Israel with a smoking gun after his longstanding plan to assassinate Stalin is thwarted when Stalin dies; David Bonhopper, a rightous nomad who tends to poor souls who have been neglected even by Social Services; the late Noami Riklin who still controls the life of Doctor Riklin, healer of the infertile; and Shmuel Klein, an electrician by profession and a pyromaniac by hobby. The shadow book of the official Zionist lexicon. It is the book of those forgotten by the national narrative of Israel, collected here to be remembered. Translated by Jessica Cohen.
