Novel

Written in 2023

Gabriel Cohen is the person I might have become if I had stayed in New Jersey and trained fully with Miklós. I never wanted to be James Bond. I knew my flaws since I was a young boy, which is probably why I chose psychotherapy over espionage. Gabriel lived in my head for years, the hero of stories some of which are too gruesome to publish. But he deserves to be read. He is the embodiment of paths not taken, guilt accumulated, and a very particular kind of skill.

A Day You Won't Forget

What if the paranoia that destroyed your life turned out to be the only thing that could save it?

Gabriel Cohen spent twenty years in a basement beneath Tel Aviv, reading classified files about men who did the things he was never allowed to do. He analyzed their missions. He learned their tradecraft. He memorized the patterns of violence and deception while the Agency kept him chained to a desk, convinced he was too unstable for the field.

His doctors called it a disorder. His wife called him impossible. When he finally walked away, he swore he was done with that world.

One night in Tenerife proves him wrong.

By morning, Gabriel will have crossed lines he never imagined. The desk analyst who spent two decades watching other men take action will finally learn what happens when the only way out is through.

And he’ll have to decide what kind of man he really is.

Told in real time, A Day You Won’t Forget is a relentless thriller that twists until the final page, and ends on a day that changed history.
