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

Reviews
'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 *
