THE GOLEM OF HOLLYWOOD
Jesse Kellerman Jonathan Kellerman
A burnt-out Los Angeles homicide detective… a woman of mystery who is far more than she seems… an ancient monster bent on a mission of retribution. When these three come together, a new standard of suspense is born!
The legend of the Golem of Prague has endured through the ages, a creature fashioned by a 16th-Century rabbi to protect the Jews, and now lying dormant in the garret of a synagogue. But the Golem is dormant no longer.
L.A. detective Jacob Lev wakes up one morning to a mystery: He seems to have picked up a beautiful woman in a bar the night before, but he can’t remember anything about it, and before he knows it, she’s gone. But this mystery pales in comparison to the one he’s about to be called upon to solve.
Newly reassigned to a Special Projects department he didn’t even know existed, he’s tasked to investigate a murder far up in the hills of Hollywood Division. There is no body—there is only an unidentified head, lying on the floor of a house. The decapitation is absolutely clean. Burnt into a kitchen counter nearby is a single word: the Hebrew for “justice.”
Detective Lev is about to embark upon an odyssey through Los Angeles, through the United States, through London and Prague, but most of all, through himself. All that he’s believed to be true will be upended, and not only his world, but the world itself, will be changed.
Jonathan Kellerman is one of the world’s most popular authors, with over 75 million copies of his novels in print worldwide. Beginning in 1985, with When the Bough Breaks, he has brought his expertise as a clinical psychologist to more than thirty New York Times-bestselling crime novels, many of them #1. His February 2014 novel Killer will be his 29th Alex Delaware novel, and he is also the author of the bestselling The Butcher’s Theater, Billy Straight, The Conspiracy Club, Twisted, and True Detectives. With his wife, Faye Kellerman, he also coauthored the bestsellers Double Homicide and Capital Crimes. He is the author of numerous essays, short stories, scientific articles, two children’s books, and three volumes of psychology, as well as the lavishly illustrated With Strings Attached: The Art and Beauty of Vintage Guitars. He has won the Goldwyn, Edgar, and Anthony Awards, and has been nominated for a Shamus Award, and the Alex Delaware books have been bought by Veasey/Bruckheimer for a projected series on Fox television. Jonathan and Faye Kellerman live in Beverly Hills, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and New York City. Their four children include the novelists Jesse Kellerman and Aliza Kellerman.
Jesse Kellerman is the author of five novels: Sunstroke, Trouble, The Genius, The Executor, and Potboiler. He has won several awards for his writing, including the 2003 Princess Grace Award, given to America’s most promising young playwright, and the 2010 Grand Prix des Lectrices de Elle, for The Genius. Potboiler was also nominated for a best novel Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. He lives with his wife and son in California.
