In The Missing File, Israeli detective Avraham Avraham must find a teenage boy gone missing from the suburbs of Tel Aviv in this first volume in a fresh new literary crime series by D. A. Mishani.
Crimes in Avraham’s quiet suburb are generally not all that complex. But when a sixteen-year-old boy goes missing and a schoolteacher offers up a baffling complication, Avraham finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about his life.
Told through alternating points of view, The Missing File is an emotionally wrought, character-driven page-turner with plenty of twists and turns. It’s a mystery that will leave readers questioning the notions of innocence and guilt, and the nebulous nature of truth.

Paperback. Condition: Good. 307 pages. Cover worn. Ex-libraryA 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 t his city. 'He'll be home in an hour, maybe three hours, tomorrow morning at th e 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 him self 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 resolu tion will force readers to question all they take for granted about innocence, g uilt and the ways in which the truth can evade us.
