What you need to know before your trail
A murder has been committed in an office in Jerusalem. Asaf, who works there, is the suspect. But is the case as clear-cut as it seems?
Asaf is locked in a cell and in his own protective wall, unable to tell his story even to himself. How can he tell it to a chief inspector or a judge? The fear would paralyse him.
His colleague, Nathalie, has studied Beauty and the Beast. She understands that staunch belief can effect change. As the only one who believes in Asaf’s innocence, she’s motivated to act on his behalf. But she’s new in the company – and in the country. Who will take her seriously?

Jerusalem
There’s not too many crime novels set in Jerusalem, so this mixes history as well as a crime mystery to good effect. The setting of an ancient city really add to the story with the streets, bus stops, mountains and parks really shining to help the reader navigate the city.
There are many social aspects to the story, social commentary and an historical and cultural awareness that really makes it shine.
