Artscroll: Borrowed Time by Yair Weinstock

Gabi Ben-Dor, a seasoned private eye, is in hot pursuit of a rogue doctor whose negligence has cost lives.

But his investigation is sidetracked by an unfulfilled promise to probe the family secret that left his grandmother an agunah when her young husband was forcibly drafted into the Turkish army, barely a week before the birth of her only child.

Remorse, then fear, then anger drive Ben-Dor to unravel the mystery. Along the way, he crosses swords with a powerful government minister who is intent on destroying him – until a peculiar genetic revelation brings them together in a desperate attempt to save a child’s life.

This absorbing novel weaves together conspiracy and intrigue in an escalating plot that treks from Israel to Turkey to Antwerp to Nepal. In a fast-paced story that exposes the shadowy side of a global diamond network and the corrupting influence of human greed, the courage of spirit to triumph over evil is revealed. As the interwoven conflicts race toward a close, Gabi Ben-Dor experiences a resurgence of faith and finds new trust in the One Who orchestrates human events for the good.
