Queen of Spies

Noa Azoulai leads a double life. By day, she’s an intrepid police officer; by night, she’s a skilled operative for a secretive criminal organization. Her true job: sweep inconvenient deaths under the rug, erasing the trails left by her employers’ assassins by staging murders as accidents or setting rival gangs up for the blame. Noa has made a master craft of misdirection, semi-loyal to a system that has kept her alive and paid... until one high-profile suicide unravels everything. When a millionaire mogul is found dead in his office, the case should have been another easy cover-up. But the FBI assigns driven agent Tala Khoury to work with Noa’s department. Tala is sharp, methodical, and deeply suspicious. What initially brings Tala to the case—patterns in unresolved deaths—quickly becomes urgent as she notices troubling inconsistencies in each case and the signature of a ghostly assassin group: the Alefbeit. As Tala digs closer to the truth, the boundaries between enemy and lover blur for Noa. Her growing feelings for Tala force her to balance two worlds: keeping her deadly secrets hidden while allying with Yael, an assassin with her own vendetta against the organization’s enigmatic fixer, Ayin. Yael’s thirst for justice draws Noa into a dangerous game of shifting allegiances, threatening to expose them all. Every step Tala takes brings her closer to exposing the Alefbeit, the whole organization, and to uncovering Noa’s own shadowy role. Noa must decide how much she’s willing to risk—for Yael’s sake, for Tala, and for herself. In a world of deception, betrayal, and brutal retribution, Noa will have to choose: remain in the shadows, or risk everything for a chance at love and a future in the light.
