Precious firearms wrapped in oilcloth are cached in cemeteries and backyards. Furtive nighttime meetings are held in abandoned schools, hospitals and apartments, individual escape routes memorized, every ear cocked for the growl of British armored cars in the street. Brand knows little about fellow cell members: Their true names and professions are compartmented. The Haganah operates in a bitter shadow world, bound by the immutable elements of clandestine operations. Instead, compliant Brand drives Eva to her appointments and numbly waits outside the hotel to take her home.

Brand and Eva spend free days - and nights - together, but she forbids him to fall in love with her. Brand is diffident, but refusing these grim freedom fighters is not an option.Įva is a melancholy widow of faded beauty who regularly visits foreign officials in their rooms at the King David Hotel, sexual honey traps specifically to elicit information for the cell.

The Haganah gives him alias identity papers and sets him up as a Jerusalem taxi driver by day, perfect cover for him to be a low-level courier, delivering parcels or ferrying bomb-laden saboteurs through the crumbling alleys of midnight Jerusalem. Brand alone survives the camps, and immigrates illegally to Israel. O’Nan’s protagonist, a widower named Brand, is a Latvian Jew whose family was swallowed up by the successive predations of the Soviets and the Nazis in the Baltics. To Stewart O’Nan’s 15 previous, omniform novels we can now add the excellent “City of Secrets,” a little jewel, wonderfully sparse, moody and uneasy, reminiscent of the delicious, frayed-collar noir of le Carré’s “The Spy Who Came In From the Cold.” Not Butch and Sundance, but a raid by an action cell of the Haganah, the Israeli underground resistance operating against British Mandate forces in post-World War II Jerusalem.

The desperate group of four men pried loose the tracks, flagged down the train, held the engineer and passengers at gunpoint and blew the mail car to smithereens to crack the safe and make off with the payroll for the troops in town.
