I like the very Israel-centric character of these novels, including that of Michael Ohayon. Thanks for writing about this series. Prashant C.

Perhaps this is the reason for a general conception but certainly biased that crime fictions are mere pulp fiction. I always love to read mysteries which have depth and also round characters.
