A burned-out L.A. detective . . . a woman of mystery who
is
far more than she seems . . . a grotesque, ancient monster
bent on a mission of retribution. When these three
collide,
a new standard of suspense is born.
The legend of the Golem of Prague has endured through the
ages, a creature fashioned by a sixteenth-century rabbi to
protect his congregation, now lying dormant in the garret
of
a synagogue. But the Golem is dormant no longer.
Detective Jacob Lev wakes one morning, dazed and confused:
He seems to have picked up a beautiful woman in a bar the
night before, but he can’t remember anything about the
encounter, and before he knows it, she has gone. But this
mystery pales in comparison to the one he’s about to be
called on to solve. Newly reassigned to a Special Projects
squad he didn’t even know existed, he’s sent to a murder
scene far up in the hills of Hollywood Division. There is
no
body, only an unidentified head lying on the floor of a
house. Seared into a kitchen counter nearby is a single
word: the Hebrew for justice.
Detective Lev is about to embark on an odyssey—through Los
Angeles, through many parts of the United States, through
London and Prague, but most of all, through himself. All
that he has believed to be true will be upended—and not
only
his world, but the world itself, will be changed.
