Ayelet Gundar-Goshen is an award-winning author and psychologist and will be discussing her gripping fourth novel, The Wolf Hunt, with award-winning journalist Lucy Tobin.
“A rich and beautiful exploration of a mother's love for her son, perfectly disguised as a gripping thriller. Ayelet Gundar-Goshen is an incredibly gifted writer.” - SARAH J. NAUGHTON, author of The Other Couple
Lilach seems to have it all: a beautiful home in the heart of Silicon Valley, a community of other Israeli immigrants, a happy marriage and a close relationship with her teenage son, Adam.
But when a local synagogue is brutally attacked, her shy, reclusive son is compelled to join a self-defence class taught by a former Israeli Special Forces officer. Then a Black teenager dies at a house party, and rumours begin to circulate that Adam and his new friends might have been involved. As scrutiny begins to invade Lilach's peaceful home, and her family's stability is threatened, will her own fears be the greatest danger of all?
With her customary brilliance, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen once again brings together taut, page-turning suspense, superb writing, and razor-sharp insight into the fault lines of race, identity, and privilege and the dark secrets we hide from those we love most.
