Overview

What if your only shot at redemption meant risking your life to uncover one of history's greatest mysteries - buried deep in enemy territory? Set among the sacred stone walls of modern-day Bethlehem, Operation Bethlehem is a gripping spy thriller fused with the suspense of a rare archeological mystery. Beneath this ancient city, where every step is tracked and every motive is suspect, lies a secret no one dares to find. Daniel, a former Mossad operative haunted by failure and desperate to find his purpose again, goes undercover for a dangerous mission of his own. But he's not alone. Rival agents, terrorists, and intelligence services are converging on the exact location, each with their agenda. What starts as a personal quest for redemption turns into a race against time, where one wrong move could spark a new war. Operation Bethlehem isn't just a page turning suspenseful espionage and archaeological thriller. It's a sharp, morally charged story of loyalty, sacrifice, and the haunting cost of protecting Israel. Some missions are sanctioned. Others are personal. This one could change history. If you're a fan of Daniel Silva, Fauda, or novels that reveal the real world behind espionage, this thriller is a must-have. It was written by a bestselling Israeli author and former intelligence officer and won the 2023 National Jewish Book Award for Hebrew Fiction in Translation.
