Literary Murder

"A star poet at Hebrew University with a history of lechery is beaten to death in his office. Days before, a young disciple of his in the department had drowned while scuba-diving and his death, too, proves to have been murder..The novel is interesting not least for the faculty's hothouse hassling over matters of creativity and judgment..[with] surprises reserved for the denouement.The book demonstrates that excellent crime fiction is being written in many languages." --Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times. SC, 357 pages.
