(Fiction, 352 p. Hebrew, 2014 ; English Translation, 2017)
An Israeli physician is speeding along a deserted moonlit road in his SUV after an exhausting hospital shift when he hits a man. Realizing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene. His life takes a dramatic turn in this gripping and morally devastating drama of guilt and survival.
