Zusatztext Praise for The Golem of Hollywood “An extraordinary work of detection! suspense! and supernatural mystery. I spent three days totally lost in the world Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman have created. This is brilliant! page-turning fiction with mythic underpinnings that give it a special resonance; a rare collaboration where the sum is truly greater than the parts. The book is like nothing I’ve ever read before. It sort of took my breath away.”—Stephen King “One of the many things I enjoy about anticipating something is having my expectations met and exceeded…the Kellermans met my expectations and blew the roof off of them. The Golem of Hollywood transcends genre. It’s a whole that exceeds the sum of its very considerable parts! creative and otherwise. It’s a religious tale that doubters and non-believers will love! a mystery that literary snobs will appreciate! and a story so wonderfully told that your bookshelf must have it. Once you finish reading it! of course.”—BookReporter.com “Two masters of psychological suspense weave a sprawling contemporary whodunit steeped in religious mythology! gruesome violence! and the supernatural…this is a witty! propulsive and frequently chilling read; its phantasmagorical elements are blended seamlessly enough with its up-to-the-minute crime-genre trappings to give its imaginative speculations some eerie plausibility. Any mystery that leaves you as satisfied with its lingering questions as it does with its solutions is worth your patronage.”— Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Combining the procedural structure of Jonathan Kellerman’s Alex Delaware novels with the character-driven plotting of son Jesse’s fiction! the novel is a solidly plotted thriller that takes its compelling lead character! Detective Lev! deep into some Old World mysteries. Very nicely done.”— Booklist “Astonishing…more complex and deeper book than I have read from either author.”—ReadMeDeadly.com Informationen zum Autor Jonathan Kellerman, Jesse Kellerman Klappentext The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Alex Delaware novels and the award-winning #1 international bestselling author of The Genius combine their extraordinary talents for one of the most unusual—and unnerving—thrillers of the year. Detective Jacob Lev has awakened dazed and confused: it appears he picked up a woman the night before! but can't remember anything about it. And then suddenly! she's gone. Not long after! he's dispatched to a murder scene in a house in the Hollywood hills. There is no body! only a head. And seared into a kitchen counter is a message: the Hebrew word for justice. Lev is about to embark on an odyssey—through Los Angeles! London! and Prague! through the labyrinthine mysteries of a grotesque ancient legend! and most of all! through himself.
