They call the ancient hills of Jerusalem the&#160;&#160;butcher's theater. Here, upon this bloodstained stage,&#160;&#160;a faceless killer performs his violent specialty:&#160;&#160;The first to die brutally is a fifteen-year-old&#160;&#160;girl. She is drained of blood, then carefully bathed&#160;&#160;and shrouded in white. Precisely one week later, a&#160;&#160;second victim is found. From the sacred&#160;&#160;Wailing Wall to the monasteries where dark secrets&#160;&#160;are cloistered, from black-clad bedouin enclaves&#160;&#160;to labyrinthine midnight alleys, veteran police&#160;&#160;inspector Daniel Sharavi and his crack team plunge&#160;&#160;deep into a city simmering with religious and&#160;&#160;political passions to hunt for a murderer whos&#160;&#160;insatiable taste for young women could destroy the&#160;&#160;delicate balance on which Jerusalem's very survival&#160;&#160;depends.<br><br> A brilliant novel by a master of&#160;&#160;the genre, a vivid look at the tortured&#160;&#160;complexities of a psychopath's mind, a rich evocation of a&#160;&#160;city steeped in history -- this, and more, is&#160;&#160;<i>The Butcher's Theater</i>.
