A riveting story about the murder that changed a nation: the assassination of the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Trade Review
"...a riveting new book about the prime minister and his murderer." -- Ian Black - The Guardian
"Vividly written and sharply insightful, Killing a King is an important and valuable addition to our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." -- Literary Review
"A clear-eyed account…captures the way politics in this young and tiny country are uniquely and deeply personal." -- The Economist
"Exceptional...an electrifying political narrative twinned with an old-fashioned crime story—of the sort that ought to be taught in journalism schools for its restraint, pacing and expert creation of suspense...The book is a Greek tragedy told in split screen, a frame-for-frame chronicle of a deplorable death foretold." -- Jennifer Senior - The New York Times
"...compelling..." -- Jewish News
"... Ephron's fascinating study..." -- The Jewish Chronicle
