A Possibility of Violence cover

*A Possibility of Violence has now been adapted for television in a new series called The Calling out in November 2022*

The threat to the innocent.

An explosive device is found outside a nursery in Tel Aviv. The children are taken to safety; a man is caught fleeing the scene.

The fear of the father.

Chaim Sara, taking care of his children alone, watches with anticipation as the police search for clues and his sons grow more unsettled.

The suspicion of the guilty.

Inspector Avraham is sure that off the street, and in the home, a darker possibility hides. If he is right, a child is in danger. If he is right.

'Compelling ... Morally complex and psychologically convincing, A Possibility of Violence is a terrifying and disturbing psychological drama' Sunday Herald. * Sunday Herald *
'Definitely lives up to the promise of its excellent predecessor ... Strong on police procedure and quotidian detail, with a refreshingly average and self-doubting protagonist, A Possibility of Violence is both tense and touching' Laura Wilson, Guardian. * Guardian *
