Uzi gets the chance to expose the ruthlessness of his former employers by giving the details of a top-secret assassination operation to WikiLeaks - a story so damaging to the Israeli government that an opposition party is prepared to pay to ensure WikiLeaks gets the scoop.

Big shoes to fill if you're going to write spy stories... I got a bit bored by all the drinking and spliff smoking. In fact, I wasn't convinced you could consume that much and then do what our hero has to do without some counteractive Viagra.

Mossad agents, Iranians with nuclear material, Israeli politics- London's drug world. A spy novel with a lot of action, but not all of it plausible. There are lots of plot twists and turns to keep you guessing and turning pages.

Can't say that I liked the book too much. Yes, it's a pageturner. But there's just too much male macho attitude in this book. And way too many clichés. And the "happy end", well, I am not really into that after a read like this. I kept hoping that the main character was finally killed.

Not a bad book, it's not going to blow you away but it's pretty decently written & has it's moments.
Definitely worth checking out though.
