Following World War II, Brand joins the thousands of Jewish refugees settling in British Palestine, getting his bearings after losing everyone he's ever loved. Now driving a taxi—provided, like his new identity, by an underground independence movement—he navigates Jerusalem's twisting streets and the deadly loyalties of the resistance. Falling in love with Eva, a fellow survivor and member of his cell, Brand reclaims his faith and accepts secret missions that grow more and more dangerous, even as he begins to suspect he's being used by the cell's dynamic leader Asher. When Brand finally sees the truth, in this novel by the author of Henry, Himself, it may be too late to turn back, and what ensues could change history.
