An Israeli killer turned author

"For 12 years, he took part in secret operations in Europe and the Middle East as an agent for Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad. He played a key role in a high-profile assassination fiasco in the 1990s. He was required to manipulate and deceive." "Then Mishka Ben-David quit as a spy and became a bestselling, prizewinning thriller writer. Now he has made his literary debut in the UK following the translation of one of his five spy novels into English. Ben-David will travel to London next week to promote the book and talk about his experiences." (thanks Amir)
