The Man Who Wanted To Know

The Man Who Wanted To Know

Author(s): D A Mishani

Location(s): Tel Aviv

Genre(s): Crime, Mystery

Era(s): Contemporary

Mazal Bengtson doesn’t know what her husband was doing on the night of the storm. His search for a job is still hopeless – his moods even more unpredictable. But she had believed he would never leave her to sleep alone again.

Inspector Avraham Avraham doesn’t know how to begin his first murder case. The only clue is a witness who saw a policeman walk down the stairs after it happened. But no policeman was sent there that day.

What both of them do know is something about the victim’s past. They haven’t yet realized – but this holds the key to understanding not just the murder, but stranger events; seemingly small, but unforgettable.

For the things that happen in a relationship – in a long marriage, under strain – may not always be against the law. And as desperate as Avraham is to solve the unhappiness of his victims’ lives, he cannot mend what he can never truly know.
