Description: On the outskirts of 1990s Istanbul, a tired American writer named Theo drifts through the same hotel days on repeat: the breakfast buffet, the afternoon nap, the long hours of watching strangers in the lobby. When his editor tells him it's time to retire, Theo begs for more time to find his inspiration. But Theo is not Theo. He is Dov, an Israeli operative. The editor is his Mossad handler. And the inspiration he's hunting is a man marked for death. Just as a defeated Dov checks out, a gentle stranger calling himself Amal checks in. He may be the arch-terrorist Israeli Intelligence has chased for decades, or he may be nobody at all. What follows is a race against the clock, a shifting confession, and a hilarious fiasco of a man trying to prove who someone else is while losing track of who he is.
