Jonathan de Shalit is the pseudonym of a former high ranking member of the Israeli Intelligence Community. De Shalit’s next novel, CADETS, will be published in Israel in the coming months. His books must pass a rigid vetting process, including the approval of a special Governmental Ministers’ Committee. De Shalit has translated into Hebrew the American novel A Sport and a Pastime by James Salter, and John le Carre’s autobiography, The Pigeon Tunnel.
