A superior thriller, very well written, sensitively and beautifully plotted. -- New York Times Book Review In a holy city, even saints can be suspects...It was the time of the intifada, a season of hatred and fear in the city called Jerusalem, the City of Peace...Criminal Investigations Department Commander Avram Cohen faces a terrible double murder of two Russian nuns, mother and daughter, members of the Russian Orthodox convent in Ein Kerem.
