Synopsis
The clock has been set. And this could be a long night in the City of Lights.
When an Israeli tech entrepreneur disappears from Charles de Gauille airport with a woman in red, logic dictates youthful indiscretion. But Israel is on a state of high alert nonetheless. Colonel Zeev Abadi, the new head of Unit 8200's autonomous Special Section, who just happens to be in Paris, also just happens to have arrived on the same flight.
For Commissaire Legar of the Paris Police coincidences have their reasons, and most are suspect. When a second young Israeli is kidnapped soon after arriving on the same flight, this time at gunpoint from his hotel room, his suspicions are confirmed--and a diplomatic incident looms.
Back in Tel Aviv, Lieutenant Oriana Talmor, Abadi's deputy, is his only ally, applying her sharp wits to the race to identify the victims and the reasons behind their abduction. In Paris a covert Chinese commando team listens to the investigation unfurl and watches from the rooftops. While by the hour the morgue receives more bodies from the river and the city's arrondissements.

About the Author
Dov Alfon, brought up in Paris and Tel Aviv, is a former intelligence officer of Unit 8200, the most secretive arm of the Israeli Defense Forces. He was Editor-in-Chief of Israel's most influential newspaper, Haaretz, and Chief Editor of the leading publishing house, Kinneret-Zmora. A Long Night in Paris, published in Israel to rave reviews, topped the bestseller charts for 24 weeks. This is his first work of fiction.
