Hope's Last Witness
My debut novel , "Hope's Last Witness" has been published.
A book that hopefully will leave you, the reader, pondering about justice, truth, and the price of uncovering both.
Set against the backdrop of modern Israel and echoing with memories of African conflicts, 'Hope's Last Witness' interweaves a noir murder investigation with an epic refugee tale. The complex relationships between those who flee violence and those who offer shelter are explored through the eyes of a migrant seeking safety.
Complex characters, international intrigue and challenge s to conventional moral assumptions were joined in an attempt to create a compelling mystery and a profound meditation on human nature and the choices we make in life.
An African refugee is murdered in Tel Aviv, and the police investigation stalls. His employer, a shy and introspective protagonist, receives the victim's final message: a letter containing evidence of a possible killer's identity and mysterious photos. For this protagonist, the simple choice between walking away or seeking justice becomes a profound journey into human nature, morality, and the relentless pursuit of truth.
In this tale of friendship, loss, and betrayal, our reluctant detective encounters complicated police officers, relentless businesspersons, idealistic freedom fighters, and enigmatic figures. As he navigates Tel Aviv's shadowy underworld, he's guided by a world-weary private investigator, a captivating policewoman with green eyes, and fragments of his friend's remarkable journey from war-torn Africa.
Reality blurs as inner voices visit the Narrator's surrealistic dreams as literary ghosts – such as the spirit of Hamlet's father debating the futility of vengeance or a ghost who failed to save Lavoisier from the guillotine and attempts to find him in an eternal quest through the Parisian catacombs - each offering words of advice and warning, challenging his views and understanding of justice, morality, and revenge.
Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative with the occasional dreamlike sequences, readers experience the protagonist's transformation from a passive observer to an active seeker of truth.
