All Backs Were Turned

More about the book

In this novel of breathtaking tension and sweltering love, two desperate friends on the edge of the law - one of them tough and gutsy, the other small and scared - travel to the southern Israeli city of Eilat to find work. What follows is a story of passion, deception, violence, and betrayal, all conveyed in hardboiled prose reminiscent of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, with a cinematic style that would make Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando green with envy.
