In A Winning Move, bestselling Israeli author Ehud Diskin delivers a tense, emotionally charged historical novel that blends espionage, wartime drama, and the unbreakable bonds of family. When David and Shoshana – veterans of clandestine missions – are sent undercover to Egypt, they return home only to face every parent’s nightmare: their son, Yuval, has vanished in the chaos of the Yom Kippur War. Declared missing after a desperate battle in the Sinai Desert, he may still be alive – and they refuse to abandon hope.
Drawing on his own military background, Diskin crafts a gripping narrative that moves swiftly between covert operations, political intrigue, and the human cost of war. As David and Shoshana confront old enemies and unresolved memories, the story unfolds with sharp suspense and deep emotional intensity. At its heart, A Winning Move is an exploration of courage, loyalty, and the relentless determination to protect the people we love.
A compelling blend of action, history, and personal struggle, this novel detailing Israeli resilience keeps readers fully engaged until its final pages, and is an excellent addition to anyone’s bookshelf.
