Overview

A New York Times BestsellerLegend says the Golem of Prague, a creature fashioned by a 16th-century rabbi to protect his congregation, lies dormant in the garret of a synagogue. Newly reassigned to a Special Projects squad he didn't even know existed, Detective Jacob Lev is 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.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. All that he has believed to be true will be upended. And not only his world, but the world itself, will be changed.
