Fateful message
Adam Fay / Light Blue
Behind the sophisticated pager operation.
A topical spy thriller based on true events.
September 2024. On a clear afternoon, thousands of beepers explode simultaneously across Lebanon. What looks like a scene from a movie is actually the culmination of the most sophisticated, daring, and deadly espionage operation in the history of the Mossad.
Oz, a senior member of the organization, and Einat, an operations commander and determined agent operator, planned and executed over the years a series of creative moves that crossed continents – from Taiwan and Hungary to the Dahiyya district in Beirut.
This is the story of the operation, but more than that, it is the story of the people behind it. The story of those who unwittingly became pawns on a chessboard, and the story of those who play a mind game against cruel and sophisticated enemies, and along the way pay heavy personal and family prices. The story of life in the shadows.
'Fateful Message' is a topical and gripping spy novel, providing a rare glimpse behind the scenes of Operation Beeper, and into the human drama behind it, in a way that only those who were there can tell.
Adam Payne is the pen name of a former senior security official whose real name is prohibited from publication by censorship.
