BenHazar

Covering two periods, from World War II to the establishment of the State of Israel, this historical novel follows the lives of two men -- a father, Jochanan, and his son, Benhazar. Benhazar learns the significance of his father's presence in the Colony and uncovers a trail of puzzling events with seemingly supernatural overtones. When his father dies under suspicious circumstances in a fire that guts a Jerusalem apartment, the son sets out to piece together the fragments of his father's shadowy past. Many of the events in this fascinating and suspenseful novel are based on actual historical events disclosed for the very first time.
