A murder investigation reaches back to prewar Poland

Set in Israel in 1952, the mystery begins with a man’s unexplained death in a city park. Private investigator Adam Lapid is hired to investigate, and his inquiries uncover the victim’s connection to a possible crime in pre-World War II Poland. The description links that buried history to further killings in Israel, giving the case a span across time and place. The novel combines a private investigation with the legacy of the Holocaust and the consequences of secrets carried into the postwar years.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in detective mysteries led by a private investigator.
  • Those seeking fiction set in postwar Israel.
  • Readers interested in mysteries that connect a present-day case with Holocaust-era history.

Book overview

Not even murder can keep this secret buried.

 

Israel, 1952 - A man lies dead in a city park, his head bashed in. No witnesses. No clues.

 

It seems like an impossible case. The police have given up. But private investigator Adam Lapid is determined to catch the killer.

Hired to investigate the murder, Adam begins digging into the victim's life. He learns the dead man was a Holocaust survivor, and that he may have had knowledge of a terrible crime that happened in pre-WWII Poland. A crime that is still claiming victims in Israel more than a decade later.

 

To solve the mystery, Adam must use all his wits and courage. And he must work quickly. Because the killer is already hunting for the next victim.
