Countdown (2012)
“In a third-floor office of a surprisingly small and unprepossessing building in a courtyard off Hamara Street, Lev Potok sat back from his desk and rubbed his burning eyes. He had been working steadily for the past three hours trying to put everything together in his report to Isser Shamir, director of the Mossad.
But the situation wasn’t clear in his own mind, so how could he make anyone else understand?
The suicide of Viktor Voronsky in the interrogation cell weighed heavily on his mind. It h...ad been a mistake on his part leaving the obviously distraught Russian alone, even for a few moments. But what in God’s name had motivated the man to such a desperate act? There were forces here, he told himself, that were much greater than any of them had any reason to suspect.
Spying and espionage were one thing, but on arrest most spies were professional enough to understand that most likely they would only spend a few months or perhaps a few years behind bars before an exchange was made, and they were repatriated.MoreLess
