Publisher's Summary:
In this award-winning mystery by one of Israel's best-loved authors, a plot of vengeance reveals deeper truths about the complexity of being human.
Coupon-clipping police superintendent Jonah Merlin thinks he has an open-and-shut case on his hands after the body of a beautiful woman is found discarded in a run-down building in Tel Aviv. All evidence points to two suspects, but finding them will require unorthodox methods to decode the cryptic words sprayed at every crime scene.
As the body count rises, graffiti expert Rai Zitrin and precocious 17-year-old Zoe Navon agree to help Merlin uncover the connection between the killing spree and the words of Polish writer Bruno Schulz, who was murdered by Nazis 70 years ago.
Why would a serial killer quote the famous author's poetic words of unrequited love? The search leads this unlikely trio on a race against the clock to solve the case before the killer has the last laugh...and the last bullet.
Members Reviews:
Above average serial killer mystery
3.5 stars
Police superintendent Jonah Merlin keeps coming across cryptic messages left at crime scenes. With the help of graffiti expert, Rai, and seventeen year old Zoe, Jonah seeks to track down the serial killer that has the city of Tel Aviv on edge.
This isn't the typical whodunit type case because the reader learns who is behind the killings long before the police figure it out. What makes the book interesting is you learn along the way the motive behind everything. That isn't the easiest method of storytelling but the book held my interest so kudos to the author!
My only criticism of the book was I felt there were too many characters. I had a hard time keeping track of everyone even when I was near the end of the book.
I received a free digital copy of this book and that is my fair and honest review.
Very well done!
4 and 1 / 2 stars
This book is beautifully translated. The words just flow along.
Superintendent Jonah Merlin is called to the scene of the murder of a young woman. Her clothes indicate that she is wealthy, but she was found in an abandoned warehouse in the poorer part of town. Two superintendents, Merlin and Eli Levy, show up at the scene, but Merlin loses the toss so to speak.
There is interesting graffiti at the scene, so Merlin sets about trying to get more information about it as it seems like a quote from something. He also tries to identify the young woman. There was a great deal of DNA left on the body, so he also hopes to get something from that.
A second murder is committed, a man this time, with the same type of writing on the wall. A young girl who spent most of the night with the victim approaches Merlin and identifies the original author of the quotes.
This book is interspersed with extensive background information on several people. The in-depth telling of their stories gives the reader a deep and extensive understanding of the circumstances of the murders.
And a third murder is committed, an elderly lady this time. Another quote is written on the wall. Zoe, the young lady who identified the source of the quotes, and Rai, the graffiti specialist, get more involved in the case.
This book is not your run of the mill detective story. There is so much background information given, that there is not enough space to describe much detecting.
