Private detective Adam Lapid has seen his share of death. He lost his family in Auschwitz. He survived the Holocaust. He nearly died in Israel's War of Independence. Now it is 1949, and Adam Lapid lives alone in Tel Aviv, Israel, haunted by nightmares, trying to rebuild his life. When a local Arab hires him to find out who murdered his sister, Adam Lapid launches an investigation that plunges him into a murky underworld of crime and depravity, and brings him face to face with the sort of evil he thought he'd left behind in Europe. Adam Lapid will do whatever it takes to bring the killer to justice -- even if it means breaking a few laws himself. Even if it means risking his own life. Will Adam catch the murderer? Or will he be the one who ends up dead?
