WHEN A WOMAN’S BODY IS DISCOVERED IN THE WARDROBE WAREHOUSES OF ISRAEL TELEVISION, THE BROODING OHAYON EMBARKS ON A TENGLED AND BLOODY TRAIL OF DETECTION THROUGH THE CORRIDORS AND STUDIOS OF ISRAEL’S OFFICIAL TELEVISION STATION ANDSPECIALLY, THROUGH THE RELATIONS, FEARS, LOVES, AND COURAGE OF THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE STATION WHAT IT IS . IT IS JOURNEY THET BRINGS INTO QUESTION THE VERY IDEALS UPON WHICH OHAYON- AND INDEED THE ENTIRE NATION-WAS RAISED, IDEALS THET MAY HAVE LED TO TERRIBLE CRIMES.

CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT OHAYON HAS SPENT HIS CAREER SURROUNDED BY PERPLEXING AND HORRIFIC CASES, BUT PERHAPS NOTRHIG DISTRURBS HIM MORE DEEPLY THAN WHAT THIS MYSTERIOUS WOMAN’S MURDER REVEALS. FOR THE MEDIA, OFTEN AT THE CENTER OF THE ISRAAELI CONSCIOUSNESS –A PLACE WHERE PLITICAL TENSIONS; HOSTILITY, CORRUPTION; AND THE ETHNIC, SOCIAL, AND RELIGIOUS DIVISIONSJ THET SHAKE THE NATION COME TOGETHER- MAY INDEED BE AT THE ROOT OF AN UNSPEAKABLE EVIL.
MURDER IN JERUSALEM IS THE CROEING ACHIEVEMENT OF A MAGNIFICENT CAREER, THIS FINAL INSTALLMENT IN THE MICHAEL OHAYON SERIES A WONDERFUL PARTING GIFT FROM THE INCOMPARABLE BATYA GUR- ONE LAST FASCINATING VISIT TO AN ALWAYS TUMULTUOUS LAND, IN THE COMPANY OF A WRITER AND A DETECTIVE SO MASY DEVOTED READERS HAVE LOVED SO WELL.
