Retired from the security services, he lives alone a few streets away from his ex-wife, continents away from his children. Adrift, Levin accepts a request to follow the wife of an acquaintance and discover her secret lover. Unlike the chaotic, incomprehensible suicide bombings he’s used to dealing with, at least this assignment seems like one that could possibly be solved.\u003cbr\u003eAs Levin watches the woman, Deborah, he begins to assess her as a potential lover might. And when the man her husband believes to be her paramour is murdered—and Deborah, in desperation, turns to Levin with her own unexpected request—his own moral universe becomes as conflicted as the struggle between Arab and Jew for the fate of the fabled city.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Pulitzer Prize–nominated author of \u003ci\u003eA Town Called Jericho\u003c\/i\u003e, this is both a twisting thriller and a “spare, pensive but never brooding study of obsessive love” (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Jerusalem File\u003c\/em\u003e is styled as a neo-noir mystery story set in contemporary Jerusalem. From the first page, however, the book throws off reflections of its far deeper facets. Joel Stone uses his short and elegantly crafted thriller as the occasion for something much more ambitious—a meditation on the politics of the modern Middle East and, at the same time, the more intimate politics of the human heart . . . A page-turner.”—\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joel Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48170155344123,"sku":"9781933372655","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_24f1b0a3-75e9-432b-a464-e8d5c2e5bdf7.jpg?v=1770635810","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-jerusalem-file-9781933372655","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
