After dozens of successful covert operations, Irit, a skilled Mossad agent, faces a problematic situation involving Noor, the wife of a senior Syrian security figure.
Irit is assigned to take advantage of her new relationship with Noor, manipulating her into spying on her husband without her even realizing she is being recruited into the ranks of Israeli intelligence. However, reality has its own rules, and what is initially a success becomes increasingly complicated to the point where the two women are utterly dependent on each other. When dark secrets are revealed, they are forced to choose between options with terrible, even deadly, consequences.
Behind the Trigger is a rare opportunity to explore the mysterious world of women engaged in espionage on both sides of the barrier in a volatile plot saturated with passion and manipulation. The novel goes beyond the boundaries of the genre and deals with the destructive tension between morality and human nature, revealing the darkest motives simmering within us and examining dilemmas of justice, revenge, and the limits of power.
