After attending her father's funeral, former Mossad agent Rachel Goldschmitt empties her bank account and disappears. But when she makes a cryptic phone call to her former handler, Ehud, the Mossad sends him to track her down. Finding no leads, he must retrace her career as a spy to figure out why she abandoned Mossad before she can do any damage to Israel. But he soon discovers that after living under cover for so long, an agent's assumed identity and her real one can blur, catching loyalty, love, and truth between them. In the midst of a high-risk, high-stakes investigation, Ehud begins to question whether he ever knew his agent at all. In The English Teacher, Yiftach R. Atir drew on his own experience in intelligence to weave a psychologically nuanced thriller that explores the pressures of living under an assumed identity for months at a time".-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women spies $z Israel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intelligence officers $z Israel $v Fiction. 610 10 $a Israel. $b Mosad le-modiin £e-tafiðidim meyuiÃadim $v Fiction. 651 17 $a Israel. $b Mosad le-modiin £e-tafiðidim meyuiÃadim. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00662570. 655 7 $a Spy stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975843. 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178571. 700 1 $a Simpson, Philip, $d 1952- $e translator. 730 0 $a Morah le-Anglit. $l English. 941 $a 7 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305013744.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010015629.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230203012150.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053452.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717032230.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523015614.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116020645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7392FAA2700911E6B8F2849BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
