In a covert laboratory under the streets of Tel Aviv, Akiva Cohen, an Israeli scientist, clones Hitler from old samples of his DNA.

Akiva wants to change the world for the good; but he is betrayed by those who want to use this new Hitler for unimaginable terror.

Akiva is plunged into a desperate struggle to stay alive and salvage his dream, leading to a trail of murders across the country, collaboration with Hamas terrorists, and the uncovering of a devastating conspiracy at the highest levels of Israeli society.

Perfect Enemy is an exciting and suspenseful thriller that poses uncomfortable questions about trauma and revenge, the desire for peace, religious extremism, and the schisms of the Middle East.

PRAISE FOR PERFECT ENEMY

Dystopian science meets utopian politics as competing visions for the future of the Middle East unfold across Israel's brittle political landscape... Sinclair draws on his deep familiarity with local politics, customs and social cues to keep the action thundering toward a startling, thought-provoking payoff.

A compelling read which drew me in and kept me involved throughout. It evokes the people and places of contemporary Israel skillfully and authentically and I found myself engaged with the characters and eager to know how the story would end. It’s an intelligent thriller that gets the reader thinking about issues in Israeli society and politics that are all too relevant today.”

A blood-splattered room littered with the corpses of Arab terrorists and Israeli settlers... the perfect setting for a Middle-eastern love story. Hold on for a harrowing ride full of twists and turns... A page-turner!

I couldn't put the book down!! Engaging and intelligent.

Clearly written by someone knee-deep in the Palestine-Israel conflict, and showcasing a tremendous amount of both knowledge and empathy, the novel highlights how even the most level-headed individuals can be driven to extremes when surrounded by imminent danger at all times... Genuinely a very enjoyable read.
