What if one impossible decision during a suspenseful mission shattered everything you believed about your past?

Set deep within the world of contemporary Israeli espionage, Behind the Trigger is a psychological spy thriller where covert operations collide with buried trauma, and the cost of trust is life or death.

Irit is no cliche female protagonist. She's a Mossad field agent, mother, and wife - trained to complete missions, not confront her past. But when a thrilling assignment sparks an unexpected connection with Noor - the wife of a Syrian missiles engineer - everything changes.

Two strong female main characters, both bound by secrets, face off not just as adversaries, but as mirrors. Their growing bond becomes both a strategic intelligence asset and a raw, psychological reckoning neither of them saw coming.

In a world built on lies, mysteries, and drama, the most dangerous truth is the one you tell yourself.

If you love Daniel Silva, Tehran, or espionage fiction that reveals the truth about spying, this novel is for you. Written by a bestselling Israeli author and former intelligence officer, whose novel Operation Bethlehem won the 2023 National Jewish Book Award for Hebrew Fiction in Translation.

How will Irit and Noor's bond end when one woman's triumph means the other's ruin?

Content Note: This novel includes references to sexual abuse but contains no graphic descriptions. Reader discretion advised.
