The book is decent, though it feels a little laboured. It seems padded out to make room for callbacks to the author’s earlier books, yet it doesn’t come close to their quality. The main character, Benny the investigator, gets somewhat lost in existen ...more

Quotes by Yigal Zur  (?)

“Pointing to Reut, I added, “This is her sister. They look alike.”
Yigal Zur, Passport to Death

“She watched the shiny motes of dust floating through the air, following them as they came in on the light and disappeared into the shadow. Pursing her lips, she blew toward them, as if by creating an eddy in the air she could bring back the tiny particles that had vanished. Nothing disappears forever. Everything leaves behind an essence that comes and goes. From time to time it glows brightly, but mostly its existence is spectral.”
Yigal Zur, Child of Dust: A Dotan Naor Thriller

“They don’t know about the lonely nights in a strange, often dirty, bed in some fleabag hotel on the other side of the world. Lying there for hours on end staring at the rusty ceiling fan that barely moves the air, doing little more than collecting dust. The heat and humidity clog up my head and the sweat streams down my chest despite feeble attempts to cool off. Nights when I struggle to get the aging computer called my mind, a late ‘70s model, to process all the new events and information collected in its memory during the day. Appalling images are engraved on my soul, leaving permanent scars. The nights are spent fixated on the memories that never die, like maggots eating at my brain. I was striving hard for routine.”
Yigal Zur, Child of Dust: A Dotan Naor Thriller

Topics Mentioning This Author

“When I write a book I first have an idea, a blank piece of paper in front of me and I have no idea where it will take me when I start writing. Sometimes I surprise myself where my writing takes me.”
Stjepan Varesevac Cobets
