Staff Recommendations - The Butcher's Theater

The Butcher's Theater
by Jonathan Kellerman

Jonathan Kellerman is rightly reknowned for his Alex Delaware series. The Butcher's Theater is an interesting departure from that series. Chief Inspector Daniel Sharavi, headquartered in Jerusalem, is a Yemenite Jew with a California-born wife and three kids. He has been asked to investigate the mutiliation murder of a young Arab girl who's body is found in the Old City. Sharavi puts together a multi-ethnic team to help while they slowly unravel their killer's peculiar pathology. It's too bad kellerman has not made this into a series, since it showed great promise. -- recommended by Rayma S. - South Branch Library
