Through the Rustling Water: An historical thriller based on true events

From the depths of history and the lingering shadows of war comes a gripping, emotionally charged novel: Through the Rustling Water.

Set in post–World War II Europe, the story follows two young operatives from an elite intelligence unit—Yael and Yotam—on a perilous mission to track down a Hungarian war criminal accused of crimes against humanity. As they navigate a continent still scarred by devastation, they are forced to confront not only external dangers but also the personal secrets and emotional wounds that threaten to unravel their pursuit of justice.

Inspired by real historical events, Through the Rustling Water is a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of Hannah Szenes, the resistance fighter and poet who gave her life opposing the Nazis. In this debut novel, Smadar Frydman—an accomplished market researcher with a Ph.D. in economics and business administration—blends her passion for history and human psychology into a powerful narrative exploring duty, patriotism, and the enduring quest for truth.

A compelling read for fans of historical fiction and psychological suspense, this novel will stay with you long after the final page.
