Here, upon this bloodstained stage, a taceless killer pertorms his violent speciality The first to die brutally is a fifteen-year-old girl. She is drained of blood then carefully bathed and shrouded in white. Precisely one week later, a second victim is found.

 

From the sacred Wailing Wall to monasteries where dark secrets are cloistered, from black-clad bedouin enclaves to labyrinthine midnight alleys, veteran police inspector Daniel. Sharavi and his crack team plunge deep into a city simmering with religious and political passions to hunt for a murderer whose insatiable taste for young Arab women could destroy the delicate balance on which Jerusalem's very survival depends.

 

A briliant novel by a master of the genre, a vivid look at the tortured

*complexities of a psychopath's mind, a rich evocation of a city steeped in history-this, and more, is The Butcher's Theater.”
