From Rivki Nesher’s Making it Out to Yael Reed, Ruthie Pearlman’s writing has always been centered in England, Ruthie’s home for most of her writing career. But her newest release, Infiltrator, ventures into Israeli territory and combines her signature crime-at-the-boarding school genre with Israeli thriller tropes. Infiltrator is the story of 12-year-old Meira, who turns to Ner Miriam for protection when she is no longer safe in her cozy yishuv. But despite putting up with the annoyances of her protective team, the threat follows her across the ocean. When she and a classmate are kidnapped and held for ransom, Yael and Doron are on the case.
