As the work progresses and Shoshanna’s paranoia and training keep her ahead of Law, the noose gradually tightens towards a conclusion. From a Scottish hunting estate to a beach in Angola to a Royal Navy destroyer in London, the fast pace is matched by Law’s suspicions and eventual action – but where do his allegiances lie? The dénouement sees Shoshanna not only confront her former Shayetet commander and Law, but something even more pressing, something unthinkable. With one of the most effective twists I’ve read in a while, Turnbull pulls off a dramatic and impacting turn, leaving the reader equally disturbed and satisfied.
