Book description

Murder is never clear-cut. In the '60s Jerusalem was dubbed 'The Butcher's Theatre'. Decades later and the City of Peace is about to regain that title. The corpse of a young Arab girl has been found - her body violated and then carved up with chilling precision. Sexual murders are virtually unheard of in Jerusalem and the killing throws an already unstable city into turmoil. Chief Inspector Daniel Shalom Sharavi, himself a Yemenite Jew, takes charge of the case. But with political and religious tensions in the city muddying the murder trail, could he be about to lose the killer in the confusion? High-octane entertainment' Alex Delaware may be The Crime Reader but his extraordinary skills at understanding criminal behaviour come from Jonathan Kellerman, the ultimate crime writer. Jonathan Kellerman has brought his expertise as a clinical psychologist to more than thirty bestselling crime novels. He is one of the world's most popular authors, creating plots and characters that are among the most unusual and convincing in crime fiction. He has won the Goldwyn, Edgar, and Anthony awards and has been nominated for a Shamus Award. Jonathan and his wife, writer Faye Kellerman, live in California, New Mexico, and New York. Their four children include novelists Jesse Kellerman and Aliza Kellerman. www. jonathankellerman. com
