- Summary
- "When his father dies under suspicious circumstances in a fire that guts a Jerusalem apartment, Benhazar sets out to piece together the fragments of his father's shadowy past. How involved was he in Lechi, the radical anti-British underground? What was he doing in Hong Kong and occupied Burma? Why were so many of his old acquaintances evasive? The journey, begun as a search for his father, becomes a process of self-clarification for the son. Many events in this fascinating and suspenseful novel are based on actual historical events disclosed for the very first time."--Cover
