Internationally bestselling crime writer, Roni Dunevich, debuts Stateside with this electrifying espionage thriller—perfect for fans of Daniel Silva—about Alex Bartal, director of the Mossad’s Operations Branch, who is threatened by dark horrors of the past that refuse to stay buried.

One of Bartal’s agents is on a mission to kidnap an Iranian general, interrogate him, then kill him. But the plan goes terribly wrong when the agent, the head of a Mossad special unit, is captured instead—generating a series of escalating crises in Europe and Asia, which results in the death, one member at a time, of the Ring of the Nibelungs: a sleeper cell network of Mossad agents.

Convinced that there is a traitor within the Mossad, Bartal must race to identify and eliminate the mole. His first hunch leads him to Berlin, but as his investigation evolves, Bartal is forced to confront Europe's dark, troubled history. Is he chasing an elusive ghost across the Continent? Or is he closing in on a ruthless killer who refuses to let go of the past?

Filled with harrowing twists and edge-of-the-seat suspense, Ring of Lies is an adrenaline-fueled, nail-biting story of espionage and the first novel from Roni Dunevich’s award-winning Alex Bartal series to be translated into English.

      Dunevich's first Alex Bartal spy thriller to be translated into English suffers by comparison with the more nuanced and plausible work of other Israeli thriller authors such as Mishka Ben-David. The death of an operative in Turkey proves to be the first in a series that decimates the Nibelung Ring, a cell of sleeper agents who live in major European countries and work on their own on behalf of Mossad. Their identities are supposed to be the sole preserve of their leader, a German named Justus Erlichmann, but soon after Alex meets with him, Justus is killed, leaving the Israelis scrambling to find some record of their covert allies. Meanwhile, Alex's beloved daughter, Daniella, herself an Israeli intelligence operative, is haunted by violent events. She was once traumatized by terrorists, and is now struggling with her mother's death during a shoot-out involving the head of Mossad, Reuven Hetz, who hopes to be Israel's next prime minister. Ludlum fans will find the sensational plot turns enjoyable, but le Carré readers should look elsewhere.
