Israel, Saturday night.
The torrential January rains pour over the southern town of Meitar, silencing the world like a natural muffler. In the shadows, a young girl is silenced too—a blurry figure, a filthy hand, a whispered, “Don’t worry.”
Then a blood vengeance so fierce, even the devil couldn’t imagine it.
In Israel’s wild South, where 'Hak el Arab'—Bedouin law—prevails, Saar, a veteran of the IDF’s Mista’arvim unit, seeks the justice his country denied him.
Blending the raw intensity of 'Death Wish' with the relentless realism of 'Fauda', Yaniv Ben-Atar’s debut novel is a gripping tale of vengeance, morality, and survival. Inspired by his critically acclaimed student film 'Restless Night' (2007), this story dives into the heart of darkness, leaving no soul untouched.
