For fans of Daniel Silva, John le Carré, and Jason Matthews comes a razor-sharp espionage thriller about identity, loyalty, and the psychological cost of living undercover.

He’s spent years becoming someone else. Now he may never find his way back.

Tomer Kohaner is one of Israel’s most effective covert operatives—a man so deeply embedded in his undercover identity that even his handlers are no longer certain where the mission ends and the real man begins.

Operating under the alias Tom Ringer, a Canadian PhD student in biology, Kohaner has spent years infiltrating dangerous networks across Europe. But after a brutal operation in Sweden nearly destroys his cover, he’s pulled into a far more dangerous assignment: investigating a suspected biological warfare conspiracy tied to Harvard University, the Syrian regime, and Iran’s military research network.

To survive, Kohaner must disappear once again into the life of Tom Ringer.

But this time the greatest threat may not be the enemy.

It may be the man he’s becoming.

Being Tom Ringer is a gripping international spy thriller that combines cinematic tension, psychological realism, and literary sophistication into a story that feels frighteningly authentic.

Perfect for readers who love Mossad and Israeli intelligence thrillers, psychological espionage fiction, morally complex antiheroes, and deep-cover operations.
