Publisher's Summary:
After one night's deadly mistake, a man will go to any lengths to save his family and his reputation.
Neurosurgeon Eitan Green has the perfect life - married to a beautiful police officer, and father of two young boys. Then, speeding along a deserted moonlit road after an exhausting hospital shift, he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene.
When the victim's widow knocks at Eitan's door the next day, holding his wallet and divulging that she knows what happened, Eitan discovers that her price for silence is not money. It is something else entirely, something that will shatter Eitan's safe existence and take him into a world of secrets and lies he could never have anticipated.
Waking Lions is a gripping, suspenseful, and morally devastating drama of guilt and survival, shame and desire from a remarkable young author on the rise.
Critic Reviews:
"Waking Lions is a classy, suspenseful tale of survival where the good guys and the bad guys are harder to distinguish than you might think." (The Times UK)
"A literary thriller that is used as a vehicle to explore big moral issues. I loved everything about it." (Daily Mail UK)
"Gripping...twists and turns like a thriller." (Sunday Times UK)
Members Reviews:
Disappointing
The writer needed a good editor. Very uneven in pacing, plot and tone. An interesting premise poorly developed. The performance is overly dramatic.
Engaging ethnic mystery in Israel
Beautifully narrated story of love, deception, mystery, politics, refugees, and family. Even the end is both satisfying and unsettling.
Israeli neurosurgeon gets out of comfort zone
The narrator has just enough accent to give it a foreign feel without being difficult to understand. High achiever runs over an immigrant accidentally then leaves the scene. He gets blackmailed into treating other immigrants by the mysterious wife of his victim. He is spellbound by her power over him at the expense of his family. The book has lots of self examination and could have used more plot. It's best when his secrets are almost discovered and frankly the reason one keeps listening.
little note
I think it will be nice if can be improve the Israeli names pronunciations. :)

I wish I would have. What a waste of time! Having read the reviews after the fact, I agree with most of the less positive ones - the premise had good potential which was spoiled by poor writing that described way too much lust by characters who knew nothing about each other, disliked each other, and had no reason to lust after each other. The characters were poorly developed and generally unlikable and the narrator was, at times, melodramatic to the point where I was groaning out loud in the car! The biggest mystery of all is how this book ended up with a four-star rating! Definitely happy to be done with this one!
