It’s been more than a year since LAPD detective Jacob Lev
learned the remarkable truth about his family, and he’s not
coping well. He’s back to drinking, he’s not talking to his
father, the LAPD Special Projects Department continues to
shadow him, and the memory of a woman named Mai haunts him
day and night.
And while Jacob has tried to build a bridge to his mother,
she remains a stranger to him, imprisoned inside her own
tattered mind.
Then he comes across the file for a gruesome unsolved murder
that brings the two halves of his life into startling collision.
Finding the killer will take him halfway around the world,
to Paris—the city of romance, but also of gritty streets,
behind the lights. It’s a dangerous search for truth that
plunges him into the past.
And for Jacob Lev, there is no place more frightening.
Jonathan Kellerman has long been known for his mastery of
criminal psychology and his ability to create thrilling
novels of nuanced drama and suspense. But in The Golem of
Paris, he and Jesse Kellerman raise that suspense to a whole
new level.
