Conviction: It's a matter of life - and death

Two investigations, one domestic and one stranger, begin on the same day. Inspector Avraham Avraham is seduced by the latter and spirals into a maze of violence and deception, leading to Israel's darkest secrets and threatening to put him in conflict with the most powerful men in the country. Conviction is a successful synthesis of the emotionality of the previous Avraham cases and the fast-paced, highly suspenseful standalone novel Three, delivering an almost unbearably tense story.

Both investigations commenced on the same day, one appearing relatively mundane and almost banal: a newborn was discovered in a bag outside a hospital, and the woman who left it there was swiftly apprehended after a few hours. The second investigation, on the other hand, seemed stranger and more intriguing: a Swiss tourist had vanished from a beach-hotel near Tel-Aviv, and a quick inquiry revealed that he had been using a fake passport and at least two names. Could he be a Mossad agent, as his daughter claims? And was he in danger?

Inspector Avraham Avraham, eager to surpass his usual cases of domestic violence, felt indifferent towards the first investigation and was seduced by the second. However, he soon realized that he had made a wrong choice, as both investigations spiraled into a maze of violence and deception, leading to Israel's darkest secrets and potentially placing Avraham in conflict with the most powerful men in the country, who technically don't even exist.

Conviction is a remarkable achievement, combining the emotional depth of the previous Avraham cases with the fast-paced, highly suspenseful standalone novel, Three. Once again, Mishani delivers an almost unbearably tense story, thrilling and emotionally involving. It is yet another triumph for the author.
