The Dead Sister — Jonathan Dunsky

Private detective Adam Lapid has seen his share of death. He lost his family in Auschwitz. He survived the Holocaust. He nearly died in Israel's War of Independence.

Now it is 1949, and Adam Lapid lives alone in Tel Aviv, Israel, haunted by nightmares, trying to rebuild his life.

When a local Arab hires him to find out who murdered his sister, Adam Lapid launches an investigation that plunges him into a murky underworld of crime and depravity, and brings him face to face with the sort of evil he thought he'd left behind in Europe.

Adam Lapid will do whatever it takes to bring the killer to justice -- even if it means breaking a few laws himself. Even if it means risking his own life.

Will Adam catch the murderer? Or will he be the one who ends up dead?



INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR

Q: What Makes The Adam Lapid Series Unique?

A: I wanted to write a murder mystery series that takes place in the early days of the State of Israel, starting in 1949, right after Israel became independent.

I wanted to have a Jewish detective who was also a Holocaust survivor as the series hero. Someone who knows what it's like to lose everything. So Adam Lapid was created.

As far as I know, there is not another private investigator series that takes place in Israel at that time, so the series is special in that respect. Also, once you begin reading one of the books, you will find that Adam Lapid is a detective like no other: tough, smart, dedicated, and with a sense of justice uniquely his own.

Throughout the books, Adam Lapid solves crimes and also attempts to rebuild his life after losing his entire family in Auschwitz. So you can expect an emotional as well as an exciting reading experience, one that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Q: Do I need to read the books in a specific order?

A: Each of the books in the Adam Lapid mysteries series is a standalone mystery. Other readers have read them in a variety of orders and enjoyed themselves immensely. So I believe you can just pick any book that you feel like and get started.

That being said, you may find it better to read the books in chronological order.

Therefore, I recommend the following sequence:

• Ten Years Gone
• The Dead Sister
• The Auschwitz Violinist
• A Debt of Death

Q: What sort of reader will enjoy reading the Adam Lapid mysteries?

A: Any reader who likes murder mystery fiction, especially private investigator novels with a dash of vigilante justice, will likely have fun with an Adam Lapid mystery. If you have a particular interest in Israeli history or Jewish mysteries, then these books are definitely for you.

The main appeal of the books is that each novel is a well-written and thrilling murder mystery, with twists, surprises, a touch of romance, a dose of violence, and a host of unforgettable characters.
