Code Ezra

The bestselling story behind today’s headlines!
A master spy, three women agents and one traitor.
Eli Katzar was the most effective spy in the Israeli espionage network—and his success in a shadowland of undercover thrusts and counterthrusts lay in the brilliant trio of female operatives he had recruited and trained. But now one had betrayed him and his country—and unless he found out who, unbelievable treachery would lead to unthinkable disaster.
Code Ezra spans thirty tumultuous years of Israeli history and takes the reader on a spellbinding journey from Alpine climbs to illegal flights over Egypt, from Parisian ateliers to the hear of a Palestinian refugee camp, from London’s West End to the bazaars of Baghdad, from ancient Jerusalem to contemporary New York. Penetrating the core of that most secret of intelligence services, Israel’s Mossad, Courter show us its innermost workings, revealing he painstaking vetting and training of its agents and the intricate development of their covers. As Courter weaves together the true and the imagined, we share the breathtaking anxieties of the Ezra team members in their double identities as lovers, wives, mothers—and spies.
