Hawkins, Navidad de 1984. Lo único que anhela el jefe Jim Hopper es disfrutar de una primera Nochebuena tranquila junto a Once, pero su hija adoptiva tiene otros planes. Acaba de rescatar del sótano una caja de cartón con las palabras «Nueva York» y es entonces cuando empiezan las preguntas complicadas. ¿Por qué se marchó Hopper de Hawkins hace ya tantos años? ¿Qué significa «Vietnam»? Y ¿por qué nunca había hablado de Nueva York?

Su hija pequeña, su cariñosa esposa y un nuevo empleo como inspector de la policía de Nueva York le facilitan la incorporación a la vida de civil. Pero cuando los agentes federales le arrebatan el caso sin resolver de una serie de brutales asesinatos, Hopper decide actuar por su cuenta y arriesgarlo todo para desvelar la verdad.
Tardará poco en infiltrarse en las bandas callejeras más infames de Nueva York. Pero cuando está a punto de resolver el caso, un apagón se apodera de la ciudad y precipita a Hopper en la oscuridad más profunda a la que se haya enfrentado jamás.

It's 1933, and Ivor Castle, Oxford-educated and Jewish, arrives in Palestine to take up a position as assistant to the defense counsel in the trial of the two men accused of murdering Haim Arlosoroff, a leader of the Jewish community in Palestine whose efforts to get Jews out of Hitler's Germany and into Palestine may have been controversial enough to get him killed.
While preparing for the trial, Ivor, an innocent to the politics of the case, falls into bed and deeply in love with Tsiona, a free-spirited artist who happened to sketch the accused men in a Jerusalem café on the night of the murder and may be a key witness. As Ivor learns the hard way about the violence simmering just beneath the surface of British colonial rule, Jonathan Wilson dazzles with his mastery of the sun-drenched landscape and the subtleties of the warring agendas among the Jews, Arabs, and British.
And as he travels between the crime scene in Tel Aviv and the mazelike streets of Jerusalem, between the mounting mysteries surrounding this notorious case and clandestine lovemaking in Tsiona's studio, Ivor must discover where his heart lies: whether he cares more for the law or the truth, whether he is more an Englishman or a Jew, and where and with whom he truly belongs.
Much is lost, but hope in one man remains . . .
