Jesse Kellerman Knihy

Ethan Muller, mladý newyorský obchodník se současným uměním, narazí na svou životní příležitost. V rozpadajícím se činžáku se ztratil nájemník jménem Victor Cracke a zanechal po sobě množství originálních kreseb, které na sebe překvapivě navazují. Ethan sice část z nich úspěšně prodá (tím spíš, že o jejich autorovi nikdo nic neví), ale vzápětí s ním chce mluvit policie a dcera bývalého policisty, se kterou se sblížil, s ním mluvit naopak odmítá. Geniální malíř Victor Cracke má totiž více než podezřelou minulost a zdá se, že jeho obrazy nejsou jenom uměním. Stávají se spíše důkazem – důkazem zločinu.

Když se potká vyhořelý detektiv z L. A., tajemná žena a starověké monstrum toužící po odplatě, začnou se dít věci. Legenda o pražském golemovi, vyrobeném v šestnáctém století rabi Löwem a spícím v podkroví pražské synagogy, se traduje již řadu let. Ale co když je golem už vzhůru… Detektiv Jacob Lev se jednoho rána probudí omámený a zmatený. Zdá se, že si předchozí večer přivedl z baru krásnou ženu, ale nemůže si vybavit, jak se s ní seznámil – a ona zmizí dřív, než se mu to podaří zjistit. Tato záhada pro něj však není tak důležitá jako nový případ, který se chystá vyšetřovat. Jacob Lev je totiž převelen na oddělení Zvláštních projektů, o němž ani nevěděl, že existuje, aby se podílel na vyšetřování podivné vraždy v hollywoodských kopcích. Nebylo nalezeno tělo, jen zatím neidentifikovaná hlava na podlaze. A na kuchyňské lince je vypálený hebrejský nápis: Spravedlnost.

Then he comes across the file for a gruesome, unsolved murder that brings the two halves of his life into startling collision. Finding the killer will take him halfway around the world, to Paris - the city of romance, but also its gritty streets, behind the lights. It's a dangerous search for truth that plunges him into the past. For Jacob Lev, there is no place more frightening.
