Tel Aviv in the year 2024: Israel is reduced to a heavily secured city state, a narrow strip of land by the sea. Those able to leave have left. Bram Mannheim has stayed and is looking after his ill father. Twenty years ago Bram, who grew up in Amsterdam, was a well-known university teacher in Princeton. When Bennie, his four- year-old son, vanished into thin air, his life collapsed; and with it Bram’s marriage, his career, and his self-confidence. In Tel Aviv he runs a support service helping parents track down their disappeared children. Then a new series of suicide bombings shock the small country. And Bram discovers that an atrocious secret lurks behind the attacks which at the same time, however, gives him hope that Bennie may still be alive. A serious subject matter, brilliantly and poignantly told.
