If You Like Detective Jacob Lev Books, You’ll Love…
The series kicks off with The Golem of Hollywood. This book sees Jacob Lev wake up dazed and confused. He picked up a woman the night before, but he has no memory of it and the woman is gone. Then he gets called onto a case in the Hollywood Hills to investigate a murder. There is no body, only a head. The only clue is the Hebrew word for justice carved into a kitchen counter. Lev’s investigation will take him across the world and lead him to some deep family secrets, and towards something that he never believed to be real, a Golem.
This book was followed up with The Golem of Paris. It’s been a year since the events of the first book and Lev has turned to alcohol to deal with the the memories. He’s having a hard time dealing with all that happened until he comes across a case that could bring him the answers he so desperately seeks. The gruesome unsolved murder will once again force him to travel the world and, hopefully, bring him closer to the truth.
I cannot tell you how many times I have Golem of Hollywood and of Paris. They are like Pink Floyd songs that I have listened to for over 30 years…I still find new things each time. When is Golem of Shanghai due to come out?!?
