Story
A Russian defector is found brutally murdered in a London hotel. Only four people knew he had turned - the four most important and powerful figures in Whitehall. There's only one conclusion - a mole has infiltrated the highest levels of the nation's security. Operating in secret from within Westminster's darkest corners, former spy Solomon Vine must uncover the traitor. Because Britain's future hangs in the balance. And with it the fate of the whole world.

Story
Jeremy Summers, a British banker with a secret that could reveal MI6 intelligence sources involved in the war against drug-funded terrorism, has been seized at gunpoint, in broad daylight, on the streets of west London. An old contact, Raglan - an Englishman who served in the French Foreign Legion - is on his trail. Raglan's pursuit will lead him to the winter-ravaged wasteland of a remote Russian penal colony. A place that holds Russia's most brutal murderers. A place of death and retribution. How will he get in? More importantly, how will he get out...alive?

The intelligence service puts two years and over £100k into the training of new field officers. You're shown how to steal cars, strip weapons, hack bank accounts. There are courses on the use of blackmail and improvised explosives, two workshops solely dedicated to navigating by the stars. But nothing about what I had heard one old spy call whiplash. No one tells you how to go home.

A debut novel in the vein of Greene and le Carré, A Dying Breed is a brilliant and gripping story of the politics of news reporting, intrigue and blood set between the dark halls of Whitehall, the shadowy corridors of the BBC and the perilous streets of Kabul, in the shadowy le Carré-esque world of foreign correspondents reporting from war zones around the world. Carver, an old BBC hack, is warned off a story when a bomb goes off, killing a local official in Kabul, but his instincts tell him something isn't quite right....

America, 1960. In Washington, DC, John F. Kennedy has just been elected president. In Havana, Fidel Castro has been in office for a year, and with Cold War tensions rapidly heating up and the Soviets leading the space race, the thought of a Communist leader so close to home is already raising American blood pressure. Anti-communist fever is rampant in the USA, with a paranoid establishment seeing reds under every bed. Nevertheless, the decision to snuff out the threat of Castro by hiring Tom Jefferson, America's best assassin, to kill him comes from an unusual quarter: the Mafia.

A really great read

Summary
Winner of the 2019 Crime Writers’ Association International Dagger
From a former Israeli intelligence officer comes the most realistic, thrilling and authentic thriller of the year.
Chinese gangsters and Israeli intelligence face off in Paris - Israel's best-selling book of 2017, perfect for fans of Homeland, John Le Carré and Mick Herron.
When an Israeli tech entrepreneur disappears from Charles de Gaulle airport with a woman in red, logic dictates youthful indiscretion. But Israel is on a state of high alert nonetheless. Colonel Zeev Abadi, the new head of Unit 8200's autonomous Special Section, who just happens to be in Paris, also just happens to have arrived on the same flight.
For Commissaire Léger of the Paris Police, coincidences have their reasons, and most are suspect. When a second young Israeli is kidnapped soon after arriving on the same flight, this time at gunpoint from his hotel room, his suspicions are confirmed - and a diplomatic incident looms.
Back in Tel Aviv, Lieutenant Oriana Talmor, Abadi's deputy, is his only ally, applying her sharp wits to the race to identify the victims and the reasons behind their abduction. In Paris a covert Chinese commando team listens to the investigation unfurl and watches from the rooftops. While by the hour the morgue receives more bodies from the river and the city's arrondissements.
The clock has been set. And this could be a long night in the City of Lights.
Critic reviews
"Fast action, clever plotting and a Bond-esque lead character who drives the narrative forward at every turn.... This is high octane spy action." (Manda Scott)

load of old cobblers
A very confused story, written by someone who seems to know about paperwork but little else. If you are prepared to believe that an international airport would have an entire level, unsecured, empty yet accessible to the public from the main lifts, protected only by having the floor button not light up. Then you are probably ok with all the subsequent nonsense, assuming you can maintain attention through all of the mostly irrelevant details of protocol and procedure. The characters are about as convincing and realistic as inspector Clueso and Danger Mouse.

Authenticity overload
If Dov Alfon isn't a member of a spy organisation, he should definitely set one up.
This spy thriller set within Paris police stations and Israeli secret briefing rooms, crosses every drugged 'T' and dots more 'I's than a Morse Code handbook.
It starts with a presumed Israeli abduction in a Paris airport and quickly unravels into 24 hours of Chinese hit squads, bureaucratic shinanigans and body head counts.
The plot is suitably convoluted and the detail breath-taking.
The trick of having the tables turned on over-confident superiors is overdone but still weirdly satisfying, even though you know it's coming.
There's probably a rash of secretly coded intelligence in the audio. Destroy your audio device after listening.

All a bit silly really!
I persevered with this but it was thoroughly unremarkable really and just a bit pedestrian. The world of Israeli espionage was mildly interesting including the insight into the struggles for power. The plot and storyline however just trundled along and at no point did it surprise or take the breath away. Can’t understand why this was a massive hit in Israel. Maybe the translation is poor? Who knows! Not for me.
