The Literary Murder

In investigating the deaths of a professor of literature and his junior colleague, Superintendent Michael Ohayon raises profound ethical questions about the relationship between the artist and his creation, and between the artist and a moral code.

The case brings him into contact with the academic elite and reveals the social tensions and differing perspectives within Israeli society.

Known as “the Israeli Agatha Christie,” Batya Gur’s The Literary Murder is a clever, compelling, and suspenseful mystery that keeps readers engaged until its final, harrowing conclusion.
