A sixteen-year-old boy is missing in a Tel Aviv suburb. His mother is worried. Inspector Avraham Avraham is not. It is unheard of for children to vanish in this city. 'He'll be home in an hour, maybe three hours, tomorrow morning at the latest. I can assure you.' But there's a first time for everything. And, as time begins to pass, and the boy is still nowhere to be found, Avraham finds himself facing this horrible truth. The Missing File presents a seemingly average detective and a seemingly routine investigation, and then shows both to be far from what they seem. A supremely confident crime thriller, its unexpected resolution will force readers to question all they take for granted about innocence, guilt and the ways in which the truth can evade us.

I belong to a reading group called Foreign Detectives, and we have read books about mysteries/murders/bad behavior in China, Russia, France, Canada, England, Saudi Arabia, on and on -- and now in Israel. We always hope that the books we choose give a feeling for the country where the mystery takes place; and this book was a good choice. The plot was very interesting, and the descriptions of the characters and the location were fascinating. Fine book.
