A celebrated, thrilling 'Israeli noir' about guilt and desire

Waking Lions Summary

Waking Lions by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen

A gripping and suspenseful moral drama that looks at the darkness inside all of us to ask: what would you do?

Dr Eitan Green is speeding through the moonlit desert in his SUV after an exhausting hospital shift when he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he impulsively flees the scene.

It is a decision that changes everything.

When the dead man's wife appears on his doorstep, her price for silence is not money but something else entirely. Meanwhile, Eitan's wife is the police detective tasked with investigating the hit-and-run, following a trail that leads dangerously close to home . . .

Waking Lions Reviews

'Gundar-Goshen's gripping second novel twists and turns like a thriller, and it is particularly impressive in its moral ambiguities' - Sunday Times

'The great overlooked read of the summer... its real engine, one that never stops thrumming, is the idea that life can change for ever in one nauseating second' - Rachel Cooke

'The highly anticipated second novel [by Gundar-Goshen]... proves it's not every day a writer like this comes our way' - Guardian

'Waking Lions is a classy, suspenseful tale of survival where the good guys and the bad guys are harder to distinguish than you might think. The implications of Gundar-Goshen's work extend far beyond its Israeli setting and shine a penetrating light into the dark corners of our safe lives' - The Times

'A literary thriller that is used as a vehicle to explore big moral issues. I loved everything about it' - Daily Mail
