Read it in a sitting and remember it for the rest of your life: a gripping, searing novel from a true master
Two men meet on a park bench in Jerusalem: a politician, making a controversial stand against his government, and a Mossad agent, sent to dissuade him with the threat of blackmail. Neither backs down. Escaping the furore he's unleashed, the politician and his lover head to Crimea and a resort on the Black Sea to lie low. But the fierce battle between political principles and personal loyalties has followed them, and a shocking encounter awaits them. In its depiction of a man whose principles are tested to the utmost extremes, The Betrayers cuts to the heart of our troubled times.
