*The Missing File has now been adapted for television in a new series called The Calling out in November 2022*
A sixteen-year-old boy is missing in a Tel Aviv suburb. His mother is worried. Inspector Avraham Avraham is not. It is unheard of for children to vanish in this city. But the boy has disappeared without trace. The parents are wretched, the neighbourhood suspicious; the boy’s tutor harbours a secret. Avraham’s only answer is so unthinkable, it will take all his courage to face.

'A wonderfully satisfying detective mystery, with a heartbreaking finale. A tense, gripping page-turner that I devoured in two days' S.J. Watson, bestselling author of Before I Go to Sleep.
'An assured debut, with a wholly unexpected resolution' Guardian, best crime and thrillers of 2013.
'Marks the start of what could become a fine series of detective novels, centred on a striking detective - the lugubrious, self-doubting Inspector' Daily Mail.
'Impressive! D.A. Mishani writes with profound originality and his main character is a quite remarkable man on the stage where detectives dance. Once again: impressive!' Henning Mankell.
